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 Brandis_Mom on May 15, 2011 at 3:29pm: No matter what Division they are all in, they are all dear to us, this is "our" group of young men and women joining the fleet on the 20th of May, and I know that all of us are so very, very proud of them. I even have my extended family from the East Coast all the way to the West Coast burning blue candles all this week for all our loved ones.
