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 AlyciasMom on March 20, 2010 at 10:07pm: For those of you who have received phone calls, is there a time frame in which they are allowed to make their calls? (their time zone) Thanks.

Comment by AlyciasMom on March 20, 2010 at 10:06pm: Hi
I booked a flight+hotel+car rental through expedia and they charged my card already. I paid for insurance just in case if there happens to be a change in PIR. My family will be staying at the Ramada Inn.

Comment by navywife10 on March 20, 2010 at 9:45pm: When you get reservations do they charge your card right away or do they wait until you check in, I ask because what happens if the recruit gets held back a week and you will have to chage the dates.
