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 caylex 9/279 on August 19, 2011 at 10:56pm: Oh, that is a wonderful idea sjtina, I will try to do that :)

Comment by sjtina on August 19, 2011 at 10:27pm: There was something I wish I thought to do at PIR. Look around and congratulate a sailor whose family was not able to make it. Its crazy when you go down on the floor to find your sailor, But I am sure there is someone near who has no one.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 19, 2011 at 10:22pm: I got a random 5 minute phone call today! Still a couple days until THE CALL, but this one was still amazing! :) He sounds confident, which is a good thing! Can not wait for that phone call to hear those 3 little words! :))
Congrats to everyone that got the call today!!! I am so so glad that we are this close to being done!!! :D

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 19, 2011 at 10:03pm: Got a letter from my son today describing the gas chamber experience on Tuesday... YIKES
