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."

A little about me:
My second son just joined the Navy. He left home on April 6th, 2010 and called from boot camp late on the 7th. My third son has enlisted in the Marines and is scheduled to leave home on June 13, 2010; one week after his high school graduation. We (My husband and I) also have an oldest son who is working on finishing college. And we have a daughter with special needs. Our soon-to-be-sailor is just the beginning of our, "empty nest."
