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."

Hee-hee Jackie, When my older son went to college I turned his room into my craft room . . . then the darn kid came home for Christmas and boxed it all back up and piled it in the family room! I'll just wait until they're in their own homes before I try that one again:)!
