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."

What will your son or daughter be experiencing at BC? Chief Arlene Maier is your guide during this behind-the-scenes peek at Great Lakes. She’s actually an RDC at Boot Camp – a mom of three herself – and she shows you where your Sailor will be sleeping, eating, and training.
