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 KJ's MOM, Ken's Proud Mom, Cathy on August 8, 2010 at 1:55am: Kristina - And I am so very happy my son has your husband in this time to need and in many other times. Night to all, prayers to everyone.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 8, 2010 at 1:22am: Yes my husband is good at physical but in written test he is bad. Ooh yes. I am happy to hear he is with your son. My husband is very friendly and gets along with people. Well i would like to thank you and your son. We all appreciate it. No i don't have pets and don't want one any time soon.

Comment by KJ's MOM, Ken's Proud Mom, Cathy on August 8, 2010 at 1:11am: Hawhaw on signature dog. If you have dogs, be careful of where you keep it. I had won from college and my labs got ahold of it. I was very upset, but it was really my fault as dogs are like children and if they see something enticing they will get.
