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 joirenee on August 13, 2013 at 12:00pm: Tmon-If you talk to your son before I return to this site and say I have heard from my son can you ask if DF Knotts is okay? I don't want to bother him but I am starting to have anxiety dreams about him-stupid stupid stupid I know

Comment by Tmon on August 13, 2013 at 7:56am: joirenee, my son is a HT and works as a fireman as well. I just heard from him today, but he has been having email issues on and off. I know how worrisome it is to not hear from them. I am sure you will hear from him soon.
