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."

Hi ladies - I will be up and online about 5am EST to start the play-by-play and posting pics and what-not as I get them from onboard and from the "mothership" group on the ground. E made it safely home 2o pounds lighter and a week over the chicken pox. If Mayport homecoming was any indication you are in for a treat!

I am soooo grateful for this. I can't thank you enough. This menopausal momma who won't be there to see her son get off the ship has already started to cry. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
