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 HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 24, 2011 at 10:18pm: Lol! He is not my son! He is my best friend! So I didn't get a formal letter, he just told me about it in one of his letters. Then I figured out what he was talking about & so knew where to look for it when it posted! Congrats to all the graduates & their loved ones! You all cheer loud for him since I can't be there on Friday!
