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 MM89Beth on April 22, 2011 at 4:47pm: My son arrived last Saturday :) I don't know when he'll graduate, but I think BESS starts Monday! He says the people are very friendly, and that he is envious of the nice jackets some of the guys are wearing. He's trying hard to get all his Quals done quickly. I'm not sure what that means, but I'm glad he sounds happy!
