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 rorysmom(Ship13Div244) on March 30, 2011 at 6:30pm: Hi Everyone...Was so sorry to miss out at BJ's on Monday night. When I got home from work, I realized that it just wasn't fair to my hubby to be gone another evening when I had just gotten home from my 9-day trip to Florida to see the sailor.

Hoping all is well and will be looking forward to the next get together!
