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."

Thanks, we're looking forward to meeting everyone...this is so exciting! I know I will cry at the PIR! Now, if the weather just cooperates. It was 45 in Chicago today and 54 here - I can handle that! Regardless, we wouldn't miss this for anything!
