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 Dittersmom on December 22, 2014 at 3:18am: It is getting close, our group is almost 2600 people. I am so thankful for the support and information that i get here. My sailor son was not able to come home for the holidays, so he is by himself at the base. All of his roommates are with family. I hate that he will be by himself Christmas morning. I will try to skype him.
Merry Christmas to you all.
