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 would love to get together with some Navy Moms in the San Antonio area. I am sure there are some. We could meet and get care packages and keep motivated and tell brag stories to each other. I know you have to be as proud as I am and days specially during holidays and birthdays that can be hard as well that a good shoulder would help.
