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."

I didn't know it was you at first! I slept in the rack under your daughters! Met you on the ship the last day of the cruise! Just wanted to say how nice your little girl was to me and really helped me find my way around. Tell her Thanks again, next time you talk to her!
