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 hope so Nancy. I'll keep her and all of our SR's in my thoughts. I have my blue candle ready but they will do terrific. I just know it. I am glad she is feeling better. Mine refused ship sick call but my last letter said she was finally feeling a little better. Just in time for BS

Its supposed to start at 8pm and go until 8am.
Nancy...is your SR in fit?  I just saw your post on main.
I didn't sleep well!  Honestly I hope my life can settle down after this week.  I never realized what life would be like during these past 8 weeks when my son told me he was joining the Navy!!  I can't wait for that phone call today!
I barely slept too. I'm with you djaltic. Couple more hours and the calls will begin I'm so excited and anxious!
I have been looking forward to this week for so long!! I can't believe it is finally here!  I need to look up some places to get a Chicago dog and/or a deep dish pizza.  These are on his to-do list!!  Can't wait for the m&g either!
The suspense is killing me. Division 197 Call Please!!!!
