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."

Thank you. I definitely like to network and esp. with people who share same experiences that my children, family do. I am gratefully, joyfully retired from teaching as of December 2010 so I have the luxury of being able to do things during the weekdays and at distances that I was not able to do/travel before. I look forward to hearing from you when a time/date/place is set. - Judy in Brookhaven area of Atlanta
