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 proudmom on May 18, 2010 at 5:32pm: It must have been just to let me know the change in the PIR date. Either way it was nice to hear my babies voice! and I was able to ask how he was, and he said everything is fine and he sounded good.
