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."

Comment by Yesenia0815 on October 18, 2011 at 12:59pm: HI Lisa, how are you? yes I did, I never received the call... He said he didn't get a chance to call.. I really wished I could have met you there :)... Where is your daughter now?

Comment by Lisa (Olivia Div 09-Ship 331) on October 18, 2011 at 1:18pm: I am so glad that you made the graduation. It would have been nice to have met you. So we'll continue virtually! :-) Olivia is now in Pensacola. I met the new sailors at the airport on Sunday at 2:30 in the morning and stayed until she got on the plane. That was hard! Where is your son?

Comment by Yesenia0815 on October 18, 2011 at 1:20pm: I wish I could have gone to the airport but my plane didn't leave until Sat at 5pm. My son is now in San Antonio, Texas .

Comment by Lisa (Olivia Div 09-Ship 331) on October 18, 2011 at 1:40pm: I'm already trying to plan a trip to Pensacola. As soon as she can have liberty for the week end I'm going to try and get down there.

Comment by Yesenia0815 on October 18, 2011 at 1:52pm: Yes! that is exactly what I am thinking of doing, going to Texas to see my sailor....
