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."

Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
It builds character, teaches them how to be a part of a team, and most of all that this is a life changing journey for our entire family. We have had nothing but positive influences since we started, even at the recruiters office. The Navy is truly one big family and they look out for their own.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
