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."

Ok Lori this is funny. I just got a letter from my Tony. He said things are better past two days. Written on Tues 5/3. He said that kid in bunk next to him was named Cody and he printed out some comments from me to his mom and they thought laughed about us!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think he meant your Cody? I have not sent message to any other. Says he was given $500.00 travel voucher for a flight from Florida A school to San Diego but would be able to chage to have 10 days at home and just pay if any difference. He did say div was down to 74 now 2 more gone and more will be after this weeks PFA tests and Marlinspike. Said BBQ was on yesterday menu and was ok but not as good as KC! Have a great day and I hope you get a letter too. He said he would write again Thurs but it seems to take 3 days so will look forward to Mon and he said Happy Mothers Day.
