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 Marianne, my son has been stationed st Sasebo since May, he really likes Japan(he feels really tall over there) being aboard ship takes a little getting used to. He's an airtraffic controller but he's been asigned to other duties during their last tour...ask your daughter if she knows a Rudger Bollman, if so have her tell him to call his mother!!!(just kidding, he just called the other day 8/17/09 for the first time in 3 weeks since they'd been out to sea!)
