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 TJCsMom on October 16, 2013 at 4:20pm: I am in Baton Rouge....about 70 miles from New Orleans. Is he in need of something? What base is he on?

Comment by belovedbyHim on October 15, 2013 at 10:12pm: Navy Moms-- I'm posting this on all the pages I'm a part of. A Navy mom on FB needs our help. Her son is stationed in New Orleans. Due to the Shut Down he is largely alone since his base is mostly reservists. I'm hoping to connect her with some Navy mom's in the New Orleans area. Please message me and I'll pass on your info to her.

Comment by AnnfromLouisiana on September 16, 2013 at 4:08pm: So true. It really hits close to home. Had to send a text to my son even though he's 150 miles away from there just to say I was thinking about him. Prayers to everyone involved.
