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."

Arkanasa was well represented at the Navy's Officer Candidate School on June 3 In Newport RI. A young man from Fayetteville is going into Submarine Warfare and the other young man from Little Rock will be a pilot. Our Grandson from memphis willbe a Flight Navigator and another young man from Paris, Tennessee will be in Intelligence. There was one young man from Joplin, Mo. sure hope everything is ok at home for him.
