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 Anita n Ohio on December 2, 2011 at 4:25pm: Will be interesting to see in a year where all the Sailors from PIR Sept 16, 2011 have gone to. Hope everyone had a great turkey day and all of your holiday shopping is complete (Yeah, I know..."YEAH, RIGHT!")

Comment by cluebee on December 2, 2011 at 2:49pm: Howdy, y'all! We have arrived in Groton and are in the middle of the arduous chore of unpacking our lives. It's interesting how much you forget that you had when you haven't seen it for 6 months or more. It's nice to be back with my husband again. Hope all is well with everyone!
