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 Julie on January 26, 2010 at 10:38am: Good morning ladies. I was hoping someone would be able to answer a question for me...or point me in the right direction. My fiance and I are looking to get married while he's in A school. Is that even going to be possible? We were originally going to wait until after he graduated, and before power school, but we both really want me to move down there & thats not really feasible unless we're married. He hasn't left for boot camp yet, he's schedule to go in May but he's trying to leave earlier.
