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."

Information

There are some wonderful very currrent utube videos produced & presented by the Navy. I watch them whenever I'm down & out. It helps not only see what the Recruit Training Command looks like but also helps me understand what the 8 weeks involve, beginning to end. I highly recommend them!
