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."

I agree. I tried to get on to see if anyone from Tyler's division had called with the"I'm a sailor" call and WHAM, maintenence. I am so ready for that phone call it is killing to have to wait. We are leaving at noon tomorrow to drive there, 14.5 hours..ugh. That is a long trip, but it is well worth it...

Ok here I am a mom sitting in my office at my desk and everytime I turn around I am looking to see if anyone received that phone call yet, but I am not seeing anything, so if someone could PLEASE tell me if anyone got that call yet.. I hate waiting, I am so glad the boss is out of the office, but then the big boss keeps calling and talking about our merge and what I need to do, or fax or whatever.. and what I really want to say, is hey, do you not realize that I am waiting on a very important phone call, but.. I kinda thought he would get mad at me, and if I want to be the Admin of my own dr office, in the next couple of months, then I guess I better do as ask, what you all think.. lol....
