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 IDC_Wife on February 2, 2011 at 10:24pm: Hi, my name is Jamie! I just found this site and am the wife of the new IDC (corpsman) that will be joining the ship at the end of March. I was just hoping I could get some information from the mothers and wives of the crew so that I know what to expect. I've noticed that they are under way at the moment and was wondering what I should send with my sailor when he leaves. This is our first ship command. Any kind of information would be greatly appreciated.
