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."

Check your My Page. Yes, you need to wait on the form letter before sending any letters. The address you have may be correct, but sometimes recruiters get it wrong.

Hang in there ladies - count Friday's rather than individual days.  The time will go by faster that way!
