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 Kac46047 on July 10, 2011 at 11:19am: haha nicole so i guess that part during PIR when they say all thestates, his state is gonna have that low cheer. I thought it was so funny when places like cali and florida where so loud then they say, nebraska and like one person cheers lol

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 10, 2011 at 1:33am: It's fabulouss!(: It really will pass by before you know it. I think my bf is doing alright - kinda upset he's not getting along with alot of the guys there, because i think that would help him. he has some friends, but he followed an order from their RCPO and it ended up being a bad order the RDC's thought or something, and they got Dropped on the "Black Cord"(worst) and he's the only one whos gotten them dropped, so alooot of people dislike him, and i think that's making it tough. plus most of them are from the same state, he's the ONLY in his div. from his home state...whatre the odds of that eh?!
