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."

Pearls of Wisdom... Courtesy of Paymaster

  • The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.  Paul "Bear" Bryant

  • What matters...is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.  Paul "Bear" Bryant
  • Do YOURSELF Proud.  Paul "Bear" Bryant
  • The scoreboard is not the correct measure of one's performance; If you gave everything you had - then you won; on the other hand, if you didn't give it your all, and the scoreboard says you won - you didn't, cause all you did was outscore your opponent and wasted your God given talent.  Paul "Bear" Bryant

  • To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.  Cardinal Newman
  • If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.  Mark Twain
  • The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.  Chinese Proverb
  • There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.  Aldous Huxley
  • This above all; to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day.  Thou canst not then be false to any man.  William Shakespeare
  • People seldom improve when they have no
