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."

my sailor is an fcsa or safc. Said he would be E-3 in January and had to pry it out of him that he is a push button petty officer. Is in San Diego in the CIWS program. I keep saying C -I-W-S program and he corrects me. Mom - its Seawhizzz!!!!. Don't spell it out. He also says no one says PIR. Everyone says Graduation. So I had to quit saying PIR 4/18/08 and say Graduated 4/18. MOM!!!!! ;Oh yeah, he got to visit the Bonhomme (sp?) on his birthday Jan 2 for a tour of the ship. Cool beans, huh? I have posted new pics Nancy, if you want to see the new and improved Patrick! LOL
