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 Jana on November 8, 2011 at 9:05pm: Kathy-me too...by the way, I lived in the Texas City/La Marque area for many years, and moved to East Texas in 2003. My best friend who lives in West Texas City and I still go to all the La Marque Cougars playoff games, so hopefully I will be making trips down there every weekend until the championship game in December starting next weekend. I'm gonna miss the first playoff game this week in 25 years...darn work!
