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."

Add one more Kathy, when I told Frank about the chocolate chip French toast at WCC he said "I'm in!" If anyone else wants to bring along a male, so much the merrier! Or else he'll just have to be miserable surrounded by females LOL
