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."

You know that Folger's commercial where the kid comes home Christmas morning from deployment and sneeks into the house, well, facebooked with Kat yesterday, "Don't know when I'm coming home" Boo- I say. "Are you done with school?" "Yes", she said. "When do you leave?" "I don't have my ticket yet?" " Will you come home first?" "idts" is her answer. Do you want to Face Time?I ask. Then, she says, "Got to go back to class" OK......:( . So off to work I go. Dad was wondering about calling her but got busy. I get home from work and Katelyn said Amanda was looking for Kat and she told her she was at Samantha's. WHAT!?! Dad tells her "Thanks, Dumbass" I ask "Kathryn's here?" Dad and Kate try to deny all. Seems that Kat was at the airport waiting for a flight home and had her friend come pick her up so she could surprise us. Dad didn't even know about this. She's home on leave for 2 weeks and then reports to Norfolk for C School until then end of August. After that, she'll be San Diego bound. I'm one happy mom right now!! HooYah!!
