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 trisha on August 10, 2010 at 7:11pm: Sobe - thank you. Reading the discussion above on the 900 divisions gave me that extra kick I needed this week. I am proud of all of our soon to be sailors (YAY, I can acually say soon!), and the "sisters" I have come to know and lean on. Bless each and everyone one of you.

PROUD TO BE A NAVY MOM!!!!!!! (By the way, all my employees now think I am nuts, with my daily shout out) :-)
