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."

My daugther Avia is leaving for Boot camp too same day yours but she is coming from Atlanta Georgia. I know they will all meet there at Great Lakes. My husband and I are driving to Fort Gillem to see her final Oath as an Active Duty Military girl. I know everything will be alright positive thinking okay.
