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 diannep on April 27, 2011 at 9:47pm: Thanks, DKMom, for the BattleStations date for 925. I had put that date down tentatively with questionmarks, but have now removed the questionmarks. Thanks!

Looks like we have a full schedule for BattleStations now up in the BattleStations discussion group! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2011 at 9:44pm: Robin is correct! BattleStations IS the FINAL TEST! They are sailors after that...and get their Sailor caps((in exchange for their Recruit caps) at the capping ceremony at the end of it.
