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."

Texas reporting for Tuesday muster....
Amen to grief counseling for this Sailor! I know that his shipmates will be there for him but too loose your entire family is going to be hard. My heart aches for this young man :(

Good morning ladies, my son just reported to Pennsacola Saturday for his ATO training and starts orientation today! (He graduated Friday) This weekend has been a little rough. After seeing the lad for just a wee bit Friday I am feeling some seperation blues again! However, my son benefitted from my state for it caused me to bake him pumpkin bread to send to him this week!!
