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."

Comment by Nana Donna (nanaTo2Saliors) on December 26, 2011 at 11:04pm: Hope every what a wonderful Christmas. It was so nice to have my grandson home so that he could spend his daughter's first Christmas with her. Not sure when he will be home for another Christmas so this was very special. Here she is in her Christmas dress

Comment by rlbly on December 26, 2011 at 8:10pm: We had a great Christmas with our Sailor and most of our family. One uncle couldn't make it he is fighting lung cancer and was not feeling up to traveling. 3 nephews were missing due to illness (flu) and other engagements. We had an engagement to celebrate also ( nephew and his girlfriend of many years) and of course lots of pictures with our sailor in his dress blues. We get to spend one more week with our sailor. I do have to thank all who stayed b ehind to keep watch so we can spend time with our boy. I hope everyone has a healthy, happy New Year.
