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."

Hi,
Wanted to welcome you to the AECF group. Is your hubby at A school now? Both ETs and FCs are great rates with lots of schooling on the front end. Will you be joining him in GL? We have a great discussion group called AECF wives club that I hope will be helpful to you. We are an active group so stop by often with your questions or concerns, we look forward to hearing more from you.
