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."

Ok I need to get the address I can't remember where I get it. I have 5 boxes. 2 boxes of Christmas cards, baby wipes, snacks, coffee & creamers, razors & so much more. The Christmas cards are not blank in side they have messages, but plenty of room for the men or women to write messages home. My group @ work really embraced this project we just have a small group in my office, but I was very proud to be working with such a great group of people who gave so generously. Please help with the address I've got the boxes packed just need to ship hoping to do that tomorrow. Tammy
