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 CharleneM on July 9, 2012 at 6:50pm: If anyone is on Facebook be sure to 'like' the U.S.Navy page (which has the Dunham in the banner picture this week). Also 'like' the page called U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/ U.S. Sixth Fleet. This page also has news & pictures from time to time about our favorite ship!
