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."

Oh Paula - I am sending lots of prayers your way.
My life is on overload so I will not be at the packing party on the 23rd but hope you all have lots of fun.
My sailor started FMTB training last week. And right before he started he was given an award for his outstanding service at the clinics he worked at prior to trainig started. He was so proud he actually sent me a photo of the award via text - something my son would not normally do.
