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."

In Excellant hands

Yes our son has inlisted in the Navy.  He worked hard to be able to do so.  I am emotional too about him leaving however, this is the best classroom anyone could hope for their child.  If they think they know how to do it he/she will be taught to do it the Navy way.  If they are in question about anything they will be told the correct answer.  If they need guidance they are the Navy they will be guided.  So other Mom's sleep well tonight they are in excellant hands they are the Navy.

Thanks! Actually, I got the form letter about a week into BC. I'm waiting for his first real letter... I'm trying to be patient with the phone call because I know that it's never guaranteed.
