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."

Monkeymind,
Valtemeri wrote us and told us that your son is at Oceana. My husband and I open our homes on the weekends to the sailors in the area. We would like to extend an invitation to him to join us for Thanksgiving. If you think he would be interested please let us know and we can give you our phone number.
Yvonne and John
