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 Lori4629 on December 16, 2013 at 12:39am: Anyone with apartment recommendations or warnings of where to stay away from for our daughter if she chooses off base housing. She is about to commission and will be sent to Balboa / Naval Hosp SD (she's a nurse), but has no idea about housing. She would like to live alone, but that has it's own concerns too. Any info for an anxious mom about safety / costs / etc will be appreciated!
