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 Aproudmom on October 24, 2012 at 10:30pm: Hello everyone. I haven't been on the sight forever. My daughter is stationed in Connecticut. She was just home for a visit and just left out today.

Comment by Anita n Ohio on October 19, 2012 at 10:10pm: Within next 6 months (or so), daughter will be off to go to the "sandbox". Serious, scary stuff but I know she's up for it. Often wonder where everyone's gone off to, how they are doing. Prayers and well wishes to all as the Halloween season comes near and Turkey Day and other holidays approach. Happy Turkey-Mas-New-Years to everyone :-)

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 14, 2012 at 10:24am: T-minues 42 hours...where were you at that time a year ago? I bet you were getting up to go see your loved one P.I.R. Sitting in line with all the other cars waiting to enter the gates, go through security and enter that huge hall. Here's to our loved ones, here's to US surviving their boot camp days and the year that followed. Miss chatting with you guys. (Raising a glass) "TO US!!!"
