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 have not been doing much of anything these last few days but mope and check online.  I have read everything on this site since I found it, just about 5 days ago.  Why I haven't made the search earlier, I don't know.  It would have made his leaving for BC less traumatic.  But then again, I have been in denial until we exchanged our goodbye hugs on Monday...

 

I would love to hear from others whose loved ones share the same ship/div.  Mine will go to Nuke school later on and I'm so hungry for more news and info.

I am all for a color if we can decide on one!  The guys division flag has ninjas on it, not sure if we could come up with something to do with their flag??? Not sure what else is on it, I heard the ninjas (them) took over/knocked down the other divisions, I am sure all that would make sense when I see the flag
i first initially thought navy but they will probably be wearing their navy dress uniform ( because they don't start wearing their dress whites till 1st week of march) and we will have a hard time seeing them. maybe light blue?
sorry may
