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 Tucson Mom (Ship 04 Div 817) on May 28, 2011 at 4:09pm: Re: Walk Saturday June 4, 7am Saguaro National Park East

Ladybug85730,

Great I am really looking forward to meeting you. Let's meet in front of the Visitor Center, I have a pass to get us in. I will be in a blue "Navy" shirt and a big pink hat. Sorry about those of you that have to work, uneless being unemployed is a more favorable idea than not being able to walk. So I say have a GREAT day at work!

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on May 27, 2011 at 11:44pm: yes, it is Curves for Women. The writing of the other Curves is the same and believe were the clubs upset about that.

I am working at Curves that morning, sorry.
