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 R&BCook on April 7, 2011 at 12:53pm: nope nothing yet? but I am sure they are just fine- he probally slept right through it!

Comment by R&BCook on April 7, 2011 at 12:23pm: I have heard the Earthquake was on the news. 7.4 earthquake. 41 miles from Sendi and 73 from Fukushima. 207 miles northeast of Tokyo. So it's pretty much in the same area as the big one.
