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 LindaA AM Mom on May 12, 2010 at 1:46pm: Hey, I booked a hotel at the Homewood Suites-Lincolnshire - they have Navy rates. Also, I read a review on trip advisor that a good plan is to take a cab to RTC from hotel so you don't have to wait hours in line -- they drop you off up front and you walk in past the line of cars-- Sounds good to me!
