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."

We are almost ready now. The Freedom Angel  will be unveiled on Thursday night at the Danbury Fair Mall in Connecticut. She will begin to go to work for our Men and Women in  Military Service to our country. Google  "  The Freedom Angel " if you would like to follow her progress. The original Angel is permanently installed onboard the " U.S.S. Sterett " and companions her on her missions overseas.
