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 11, 2010 at 9:56pm: Torn to Pieces -- my son is also Ship 9 Div 226 -- glad to see someone else on this site in the same Division. His name is GeraldQ (I call him Jerry). Miss him terribly but I was very excited to learn about the PIR 6/25. Hang in there -- now you can count down the days -- also, he'll be able to write and call home in a couple of weeks.
