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 Kandra71 on October 6, 2013 at 9:17pm: I posted pics from my son's graduation this weekend. We had a great time seeing our Sailor after his graduation. He made it to Gulfport, Mississippi without any problems.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on October 6, 2013 at 12:02pm: CO-twin...nice to hear you're in OR now. So jealous of all the time you have been able to spend on the beach. Wish I was there too. You deserve this time and I'm so happy that you've been enjoying yourself.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on October 6, 2013 at 11:59am: Sassymom...hope you get your call from your SR today.

GinaFio...also in the Bootcamp Moms groyp is a link on ways to save $$$ for PIR. I believe it's on the right panel under group member pictures. When my son leaves...his PIR will most likely fall on Labor Day weekend, so I understand how you feel about the hoigh cost of a holiday weekend.
