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."

Hey Melissa! I'm really loving that JFK quote you posted, just reading it made me get all teary-eyed with pride.. where did you find it? I sent it to my brother in a letter.

Thank you for the kind words. I will be sure to pass them along to the staff.
You should be very proud of your brother.
This is not an "easy" life, and he will make many sacrifices for the safety and security of our nation.
The rewards, however, will last the rest of his life.

Hi we got our letter today. It said her date is 03/26/10. Then those few lines saying she is just letting us know she is o.k. The first few days have not been easy considering they have all had only a few hours sleep. Said she was wore out from basically having so much to do. But she was fine. She would write again soon. She loved us all. And get this She told us to hang in there it will fly by. Just seeing her hand writing at the bottom of the page was great. And the last sentence was priceless.
