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 betsy on May 11, 2011 at 12:23pm: So proud of all the sailors today. What an adventure they will have to talk about for the rest of their lives. Thank you for my Freedom

Comment by navy-wifey2010 on May 11, 2011 at 11:11am: Today is harder than last night was :(

I got up at 630 to get my daughter ready and on her bus, and now the day is dragging by. I have gotten so much done trying to keep my mind off of things, but I can't stop thinking about my hubby. I think I have checked my phone a million times to make sure I didn't miss an email come through. I have wasted 30% of my battery on my iPhone just checking email on it, I haven't used it for anything else yet. lol. I hope every day isn't this slow or I am going to go crazy!!!

I hope all you Bush moms, and wives are holding up better than me!!!
