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."

Nice to meet you Cori, I don't find to many moms from this area so I am glad to know there is more. Yes Steven liked being in Italy alot and they still buss to Naples. We had a wonderful time and I was so proud that I got to pin his anchors on him. He has been in for 15 1/2 years now. Went in right after high school (Lecanto) He and his wife have been transfered back stateside. They will be stopping here next month then reporting to Pax River Md. I am glad they are going to be closer as they are expecting their first child on April 19th which happens to be my sons Birthday. Where is your son stationed?
