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."

Prayers surround Paula's little girl, and Pam - it is such a blessing to be able to send prayers back and share their awesome support. Keep us posted~s

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on April 5, 2009 at 12:00am: Thanks for clarifying Mark!

Comment by Mark on April 4, 2009 at 11:37pm: There is no problem posting what ports a ship has visited. Planned port visits is another matter, especially with specific dates.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on April 4, 2009 at 1:13pm: Welcome back Barbara! missed you!
