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."

Carole says they are on time for 11am arrival and they are in the channel already headed home. on the live feed the helicopters have left the ship and E says thats the last of the air wing to go before they come to port

A very knowledgable guy on the feed said to look him up on Facebook later - he's recording everything and won't be able to put it on youtube because it's too long. He said to search for KC8WHY
