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."

You are so funny. Once I didn't figure out how to walk and chew gum I didn't even bother to try the talk and walk.

Honestly now, shouldn't we all stop texting while we're walking? 8)))

When they call Liberty everyone runs and hug!! But when they are off the base at liberty they do have RDC's out of uniform to watch and make sure they are all making the Navy look good. My son had to stop at the mall each time he got a text and text back then we could walk again. Even now if I text him he will text back I am walking and I know that means he will text when he is somewhere he can sit.

Cheryl M did you read the PDA protocol on the PIR info that was posted today? The hugs have to be limited to one and no hanging on your recruit. 8))
LOL! I wonder if they enforce that.
