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 velvetlace on May 3, 2011 at 11:41am: Mom of 3 sailors- I think they have to clean the ship and have their capping ceremony. Then there is the pizza party. So.....your sailor will call in a couple of hours! No worries. The phone will ring!!

Comment by velvetlace on May 3, 2011 at 9:30am: Good luck to the families, especially moms, wives, and fiancees, today. I hope everyone of you get the "I am a sailor call." They should be finished with battlestations now. We got our call at about 11:45 A.M. Pacific Time-----so those calls will be rolling in in about 5 hours. I agree with Dianne.
