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 embarkguru on May 11, 2011 at 4:34pm: I was thinking of you ladies today as I was trying to navigate around the Exchange. If Chili's doesn't look like it will pan out for all of you, there is a Mexican restaurant on Hampton Blvd that is in-between the Navy Lodge and Hampton Inn. Maybe something as a backup plan. BTW, bring your patience if you decide to come to the Exchange!! Your Ombudsman.
