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."

No call yet but someone mentioned that they didn't get theirs until they arrived in their hotel so I am just keeping my phone glued to me.  

Looking forward to seeing so many of you at Sarge's on Thursday.  Tina, from everything I have heard you should be expecting your call on Wednesday afternoon.  Whoooo Hoooo, we are almost there!!   :-)
