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 allybelle on September 2, 2010 at 11:26am: Hi all... please pray that this hurricane leaves Rhode Island alone... my husband is there and I really don't want his OCS stuff to be delayed because of it...

Comment by KatK on September 2, 2010 at 11:16am: Thanks for the reminder!!

Comment by BunkerQB on September 1, 2010 at 10:49pm: For those of you going to OCS graduation, go out and buy a couple "water proof" big duffel bags. When we were at our son's graduation (in Pensacola) back in '07, he said he had practically nothing to take home. We stayed at the Navy Lodge. He started to bring things over to take on the flight back to the West Coast. I had already brought an extra bag and packed our other two bags lightly to accommodate his stuff. We filled the two additional x-large duffel we got at Walmart. He do not see a problem. Par for the course, mom comes to the rescue.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on September 1, 2010 at 9:24pm: I forgot to tell you the excitement of last week. Brady got the Navy Achievement medal. I'm so pumped for him, he acted like it was no big deal, but his dad said that was a pretty big deal. So any way yeah for my OC!
