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 Tmon on July 17, 2013 at 10:24pm: My son left to join the ship and the airline lost his bag. Does anyone know what he should do now?

Comment by Tmon on July 17, 2013 at 10:23pm: Sharpies mom, I went out to see my son in May. My first time there. It was wonderful to be with him. I didn't get much out of him about his friends. Was your daughter back to the ship? I would have loved to meet her.
