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."

Yes Diane I see them! I bet that is hard for her, I think we talked about her last time we were together. What does he do? I know there is a sub base on Sicily.

Diane, yes she is very cute and your son is very handsome! Too bad she cannot come, would love to have her. Stephen is in Naples, but has been to Sicily, he has a friend there he went to A school with, I will have to tell you his last name when we are together and the boys will have to see if they know each other. How long has her fiance been there?
