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 Donna on February 12, 2014 at 8:28pm: Valtameri, The tea house sounds like fun. Where in CT?

Comment by Valtameri on February 11, 2014 at 11:24pm: And Donna, thanks for chiming in on the undesignated list. I think it really helps to hear a positive story there. Many of them seem discouraged, don't they?
