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 know, Christa, I'm SOOOO excited!
I can't guarantee that I'm gonna make the meet and greet on Thursday, but we all HAVE to meet up at PIR!
It really all depends on how tired I am (being old and all) and what my Uncle feels like doing. He's older than me and I doubt he's gonna wanna drive an hour one way to hang out - especially if we have to leave by 4:30 the next morning to get to PIR by 6;30 to get in and get a seat.
