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."

We live in the area and are looking forward to meeting the families that have had similar feelings of concern and pride in the choice their son or daughter has made to join the Navy.

Hello Whitemountain, I will also be staying at the Ramada so I will see you there. You don't need to call to rsvp just go to your events tab at the top and click on the attending button. See you there, I'm not very happy today since I have not received a call yet, just 2 letters. :(
