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."

Hey Everyone, I am new to the group. My brother is also aboard the USS Sterett. I saw that someone USS Blue Ridge had said something about they have a facebook page and we might also, well we do! It is VERY helpful!!! They had actually posted on Saturday that there was going to be no communication out but that they would still be able to get our emails and that is normally my way of knowing why he hasnt called or emailed.
Very proud of our Sailors and the great job they did this week!
