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 Christine-OS2 proud mom on January 8, 2010 at 9:53pm: Hey Morgan, congratulations on your enlistment and heading out on 7/13. Best of luck to you! My son is reporting to San Diego, USS Nimitz on Monday! He wanted to be in the Navy since he was 8 years old. I'm so proud of him and also proud of you for answering the call to serve in the finest branch of our military, the US Navy. God bless and keep you.

Comment by NevadaSierra on October 17, 2009 at 10:47am: Hey everybody: Are you all going to the M&G at Bea's on the 25th? I am driving down and have two spots open. I have a Tahoe, and am picking up Linda at Sierra College & I-80 - then Jody at Greenback and I-80. Anybody else want to carpool??? Please let me know. We are off on Monday to take Owen (9yrold grson) to Secquoia for his fall break. So, if you can let me know this weekend. Thanks, Susan

Comment by NevadaSierra on October 11, 2009 at 9:30pm: Thank you for asking - not good up here. About 300 plus applicants to one job. But, I seem to keep myself VERY busy - imagine that one!
