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."

Jason was in dispatch, working nights. Now I think he's going to be an FTO. He does help with training the new people as they arrive. He said Josh is their "armorer". I think he had the last names mixed up. What part of Michigan, we have family in Kalamazoo.

Hi! I think you must have heard about my son.... I remember him mentioning a McCabe who referred to Poughkeepsie as near home. Turns out he was from Stormville, NY and we are Pleasant Valley. Kinda funny to live so close, but only meet when overseas. My son is George, but the guys know him as Scott or Scooter. George has been in the armory, but they had rotation and now he is working down where the ships dock (I think I have that correct).
