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."

My daughter said she has became really good friends with another girl from DIV 281, Ship 11. I don't want to post the name on here, but her last name starts with a "G". My daughter wanted me to try to connect with her at the Meet N Greet. If you think that it may be you, please send me a message. Thanks - Dusty
