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."

I'm crossing my fingers things will be calmed down by then and they will be able to travel. It's a combo trip - honeymoon, they both graduate college in December and C's 30th birthday is in January. I know they are really looking forward to it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We've got extreme temps here in SoCal for the next few days. I plan on hanging by the pool!
