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 Brenda Sue on March 7, 2011 at 1:50am: Thanks! I think he is coming down to stay with me for a while so we will REALLY be needing your prayers. He is going to have a hard time remembering that I am NOT a little girl - and I am going to have a hard time remembering that he is . . . well, who he is!

Comment by Jennyw9wkids on March 5, 2011 at 5:48pm: Got a phone call from my son today! He sounded good and upbeat. Was able to put him on speaker and the whole family talked to him and hear him. I can't wait for PIR!

Comment by Kimberly on March 4, 2011 at 9:10pm: My barn burned 2years ago. I'm still finding out what is gone

Comment by Kimberly on March 4, 2011 at 9:06pm: Sorry about your dads situation so thankful he and his animals are safe. Thank god for you!! Stay safe

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 4, 2011 at 7:44pm: So the ones listed on the form letter don't really count?

Comment by Brenda Sue on March 4, 2011 at 7:09pm: you just need to tell your son whose name to put on the list and he puts them. You can have them on there and they not go - you just can't have them on there and they get to go!

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 4, 2011 at 6:53pm: What dos my son need to do to change the people on his list for PIR? He knew I was the only one coming but for some reason listed the whole family. I need him to change at least one of the places for his bestfriend. ( who he doesn't know is coming yet!)
