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."

Nice talking with you Michelle, I did send you an e-mail did you get it?
Hi Lovemysailor, I guess we just don't pay any attention to people like that. Your son is in my prays and thoughts, he always is. Let us know when he gets there.

Well Maggie that is not far from my in-laws, small world. I am so glad you got to talk to your son, I am sorry for that family, I will keep them in my prays and thoughts. People think if your sailor is not in a danger area it is ok, but it is not I hate when people say oh your son is in Italy, yes much better then some places but can still be dangerous, I pray for our sailors everyday no matter where they are.
