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 Susan mom to Niko on March 30, 2009 at 5:18pm: ((((HUGS)))) coming to you Rebecca! It is so tough each time to say goodbye... We miss their shoes by the front door and the lack of booming music from their rooms and the fridge door being opened continuously... But proud we are of who they are and the choice they have made!

Comment by Mark on March 28, 2009 at 9:32pm: You won't need more than a light jacket in May, Sha'. It'll be sunny more often than not, with occasional highs in the low 70s. On rainy days, the high will be around 60. You can't count on consistently nice weather around here until mid-July through mid-September.

Comment by Susan mom to Niko on March 27, 2009 at 8:47pm: Rene... closest would be Everett or Whidbey Island... next would be Bremerton. Hope that helps!
