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 Corie on August 22, 2010 at 1:14am: You guys are making me miss my sailor more than i already was, and I can't wait and doesnt everyone dream about what its going to be like when you see them again.

Comment by AmbW (ship03- div317- PIR 9/24) on August 21, 2010 at 11:11pm: i daydream about it literally all day long. if im not doing something, im imagining what it will be like at PIR and how i will try to control making the ugly face when im crying so hard. theres no controlling anything that day. i will be such a basket case. but a very very happy basket case.
