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."

My husband always has to go with us to get anything done at DEERS, 25 miles one way. This last time we even called to make sure we had our ducks in a row. This is what happened. We were given a letter for our son to return with the forms we were not told we needed. He returned the next week and found that the office closed early because Thanksgiving was the next day. The next time he went he looked on line to make sure of the hours. Drove again out to the office and it was Monday a holiday for them. Soooo the office was closed again. Nothing on the web site listing it as a holiday. Don't ask what was coming out of my sons mouth. So this last time he called and they said they would be open until 4pm. So he drives out there again and guess what...closed for lunch from 11:30 to 12:30... It was 11:30 on the nose. He got so mad talking to me on the phone that the guy inside opened for my son. So I guess what I'm saying is "don't even think that this will be easy".
