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 Tiffany51908 on February 25, 2012 at 8:40pm: Hello ladies!! My sailor is currently in A school in meridian. We've been together for almost 4 years. A lot of his friends have gotten "dear john letters' and i really hate that he is stressing out about us. Any advice on how i can reassure him that i'm not going anywhere? Has anyone else had this issue?

Comment by Kristina Marie on October 6, 2011 at 12:32pm: i know how it feels, my husbands in reactor and when he emails its just the couple sentances and i'll get the occasional phone calls. send packages when you can and make sure you send him pictures, it helps a lot. when he pulls into port hopefully you'll get a call.
