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."

Hello, I am brand new to this. My son is in St Louis and I can't go. They told us he wasn't in this group, then just begore he left they said he was and I couldn't get off work, I tried everything and no one would cover for me. He will have no family there! His name is James Cavender. I need someone to adopt him today, please! I'm going to see the game but it's killing me not to be there.
