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."

Hey mmiles - I'm still new to this site and sometimes confused about how to get information and where to go on the site. I'm not much of a facebook person, so some of this is confusing to me. Where can I go to get discussions with people who have an RC on the same ship and division as ours? Also, I have another son (I have three) who is going to join the navy and he would like to know more about the Intelligance Specialist job. Can you tell me what all is involved in getting in to that and what all they do? Thanks for all your interesting info you always post. Thanks! Claudie :)
