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."

Thanks Wanda. So far, she's loving it! Did your son just graduate A school as well?

wlbradford: My son arrived there last Wednesday and he is very excited about the place, he is an HN.  I think it is one of the best places to be stationed. Hope all goes well for your daughter.
