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 LoriG on March 23, 2011 at 8:33pm: Hello Everyone, I am new to Navy Mom's. My son is stationed at Yokosuka, Japan. We are kind of new to all of this as this is my son's first assignment since he got out of A school. I think that is what it was called. I new to all of this. Anyway I sent my son a care package today, but I have not been able to skype with him for a few days. I am not sure how to find out what is going on over there or why I can't get in contact with him. Anyway, I noticed that you were sending packages over there...is this because the NEX is out of everything? I never thought of shampoo and things like that. I guess I have to get another care package together again. I just wanted to say hi.
