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 Piccolo♫ on March 23, 2014 at 2:22am: Hello! I'm from a town not to far from Nacogdoches. It's about 3 hours from Houston.
My boyfriend just left for boot camp on Monday, so we are still in the first week. We have yet to hear from him, asides from receiving his final "I'm here" call and "the box".
