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."

BEAUTIFUL! I think to keep it at the top someone just needs to reply to it once in awhile. It isn't at the very top right now so I'm going to see if when I reply it puts it back at the top.

Your welcome ladies! I listed the time as 7am. About the time we will be waiting or in the line of cars...LOL Also, I have been told, if you are driving stay in the left lane while entering--the right lane ends. I had to write it down...too many things to remember.
