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! I live in Cabot, AR and my son is from Conway. He is 32 and has been married for 3 years. His PIR is 5/6/11. He is down to the last 2 weeks of training before Battle Stations. I have asked all my friends and family to pray for the strength and endurance that they all need to get through these next few weeks and that no one gets hurt or sick. They have come so far all ready and the end is in sight.
