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 Michael on August 22, 2017 at 9:16pm: He will stay on the ship the first year most likely then go to the barracks after unless he's married he will get housing. Have him limit what he brings his locker fits about what a steamer trunk fills. When does he go? As they are not in port at the minute.

Comment by Maryellen on February 4, 2016 at 9:46pm: Hi Everyone, I am Maryellen Peller and I am with a group called Heads At Ease. We Make and ship handmade pillowcases to our deployed Military. We are currently working on the USS Kearsarge and would like to know if any of the families would like to help. We are sending 1 pillowcase to each man and woman on the ship. We have already received the blessing from the command to send them. You can check us out on our N4M's page - Heads At Ease. If you would like to donate or help you can contact me @ mepeller@bellsouth.net or leave a message on our page. Thank You for your time in this matter, Fair Winds and Following Seas.
