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."

I was talking to a women online whose husband is the Recruit Eduication Petty Officer for 247.  He was awarded an extra phone call today since the division is doing so well on their tests! Go 247!

Hello everyone! Hope it's not too late for me to join this group. My husband is also in this division. He is actually the divisons Education Petty Officer (EPO)! :o) Looks like I'm the only one on here so far that is a spouse instead of a Mom.
