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."

www.public.navy.mil/surfor/lsd46 - for the USS Tortuga.  The ombudsman is the go between from the ship to family.  The ombudsman on Essex gives us information for what's happening on base as well. Sometimes it is from the captain or about why we can't get email or if it is restcted - like it was during the tsunami cleanupback in March/April for the Essex.  Our Captain also informed us of that via the 'Official' government USS Essex FB page.

Hey!  Thanks so much for the endorsement of "Sarge!"  I sing his praises all of the time on the PIR groups, even though I don't know him--but have heard rave reviews about him.  Thanks for sharing yet another success story with him.  I will reiterate on the groups again.  Hope all is going well with your sailor!
