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."

My son is on this ship. He is in Div 072. We live in SW Florida and he arrived at BC on the evening of December 3. Was surprised to get a phone call from him yesterday (Wednesday) around 11:00 A.M. Sounded really good. Said it is cold, but they are provided with warm gear. Food is not that bad either. Was so good to hear his voice and that he is coping well.
