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 Momof2Sailors on May 2, 2018 at 12:26pm: Thanks Phoenixmom and Roberta! Five more Fridays to go! :)

Comment by Phoenixmom on May 2, 2018 at 12:04pm: Good Morning Ladies, since they will be wearing their drerss whites I'm guessing what roberta said brown pants and brownish /beige shirt, if that is called peanut butters. they are very nice. in public they must have their hat on and carry their belongings in hand.

Comment by Roberta on May 2, 2018 at 11:58am: Hi Momof2Sailors, I believe that for Liberty weekend at Great Lakes sailors wear their NSU uniform aka peanut butters on Sat/ Sun. My daughter is also staying in GL for A school. Can hardly wait!!!

Comment by Momof2Sailors on May 2, 2018 at 11:24am: Good morning, curious as to what our Sailors wear on liberty weekend. I believe they wear their dress whites on Friday. But if they are staying in GL, what will they wear on Sat and Sun? Thank you.
