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."

anyone else finding this....... My insurance agent tells me, that unless my18 year old daughter relenquishes her NC driver license, she has to covered under our auto insuance policy even tho she is shipping out 7/13 and won't be residing in our home or driving our car. so what has anyone else had happen in this regard. I find it silly to pay double the insurance on someone not living in the home basically for the next 6 years.

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard........I took my son off our policy and no questions were even asked as to why he was removed. But then, we're in Texas......maybe North Carolina is different? Yep, I'd check into it also.

I know, right??? My agent even was so nice as to call Traveler's (our insurance carrier) and spoke to an underwriter,who said, unless she relenquishes her license, she must be covered under someones auto policy, when i asked why, the reasoning was......... altho the insurance policy goes with the auto, there must be some policy that if an accident occurs that is her fault, somewhere to put the points against her license to...... I don't know. I am going to DMV in the morning and see what they say........

Mary- Courtney doesn't even HAVE a car right now, she is driving one of ours! so she can't even have her own insurance, because there is no car to cover..its crazy

I hope you share the answer when you get it. I have the funny feeling your insurance agent might not know how to deal with military situations. Some don't. I can't imagine that just because one has a license, one must be on a policy. That's crazy.

What that is crazy! My son has his own insurance. He cancelled insurance, and turned in his plates to his truck. No one told him he had to turn in his license. Maybe you should ask DMV about this. We are in Virginia. near the Carolina border, but never heard of that.

thanks everyone for the input, heading out in a while and going to the DMV, and also talking to the chief at the recruiting office......... will report back what I find!!!

When our younger son went off to USMA in the East Coast, we change him from a "regular" driver to an "occasional" driver. Our sailor didn't drive his car for three months during OCS, we didn't do anything. We gave him title to the car - he got his own insurance through USAA.
