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."

Here's what the Norfolk TV stations have posted on their websites:
Rawhides start homecoming week

It's shaping up to be a big week of homecomings here in Hampton Roads. This as the Eisenhower Strike Group makes its way home. Saturday the first sailors flew back home.

Hard to miss a carrier from a satellite....
