OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Blaze Cox Ship 13 Div 151 on March 30, 2010 at 6:42pm: I can't speak for the housing being nice or expensive Because I don't know. I know his Basic allowance for housing will account for the cost of the area. But once he checks into A school he needs to get his wife enrolled into deers, and then once he has done that just go to his command and the housing office with certain documents (his instructors WILL know the specific documents) and he can have her there within a week.
