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."

KJTsMomma, this last phase of EOD goes fast. Ben really liked the underwater and by this time it is less intense. Graduation is a blast. We enjoyed every minute that we were there. Take lots of tissue and your camera.
Hope everyone has a wonderful new year.
