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."

Hello everyone, my daughter just had PIR on 04-20 and flew out to her A-School Saturday in Wichita Falls, TX. I can't seem to find a group for that A-School in particular but figure all A-schools must have some similarities regardless of the location. Hope you all had a great weekend!
