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 elizabeth on June 23, 2011 at 5:22pm: Every time I watch one of these videos I cry.

Comment by keger2001 on June 23, 2011 at 4:04pm: Parrothdgal, this is the one I was talking about earlier.. Love this video.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 23, 2011 at 2:55pm: Every time I see any video of a Navy PIR I cry. I will never forget that day. Ladies you have so much to look forward to. I have never felt such pride and joy as when those doors opened and our Sailors marched in. (the only exception was the birth of my son)

Make sure you bring a big and I mean big box of Kleenex.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 23, 2011 at 12:29am: ;-) keger...I haven't seen the one you're talking about...or I don't remember it! LadyLancelot (Thank You Lady!) posted the one for the Battlestations YouTube video that has the capping ceremony. I just remember it because some of the Sailors had tears streaming down there faces.

I love that song too, I first heard it almost 20 years ago and you just can't forget it. diannep-it has SUCH a special meaning for you. God Bless you for carrying on for you and your husband.
