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."

Congratulations!  My son PIRed 7/8 and is in Pensacola.  Make sure you take your daughter some clothes and her cell phone to the airport on Saturday.  Mine was able to wear his civvies 11 days after graduating from Phase 1 and he is LOVING the beaches there!  They'll take her clothes away when she hits FL and lock them up, but as soon as she phases up, she'll get them back.  It is WONDERFUL being able to text and talk to them!!

 By the way...my son wanted to just relax after PIR.  I have a great picture of him snoozing in a ball on the bed.
