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."

Here's the link, look under the post from Tuscon Mom. It's a great article about SWCC. I know I joke around a lot, but my heart is so proud of all of our sons!! It's fun to be light hearted and funny, but I know what they are each going through and I love each one of them......!

I think you are right Travis we really only need one group. How do they merge?
I don't hear from D much even though he has his phone. I am pretty sure he talks to his girlfriend everyday! I kind of miss the letter days!!
I guess I will have to rely on all of you to tell me whats going on!
Thanks
