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."

Thanks!

I don't think we can have toooo many cookies... there are always MP's at the gate, kids of sailors on the pier, recruiter stations on the way home... I remember in San Diego when we walked by the MP at the pier gate.... he was so disappointed when we did not have any more chicken wings... or maybe he just wanted to chat with those cute Hooters girls??

I'm having a cookie-bake-off at my house this Sunday. I sent an email to a bunch of my friends and co-workers here in town. One of the ladies donated all of the Girl Scout cookies (9 cases!) for our Illinois packing party (MAJOR SUCCESS by the way -- 86 boxes) this past weekend in Carol Stream.....and SHE HAS OFFERED TO FILL MY TRUNK WITH MORE COOKIES!!!!! Don't know if we want to send these to the homecomings, but I have a feeling there just might be another packing party in the area some time soon!!!
It's just amazing what we can do if we just take a chance, step out of our comfort zone, and ASK!!!!! -
