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."

it is THE BEST feeling in the world! you'll be able to see him from the stands at PIR and you'll feel so anxious for the ceremony to be over and liberty to be called! Make sure you get there early! I was there at 6:30 and sat right where C could see me. It helps the guys get through it too if you're easy to see! Makes it that much more special and exciting once you can hold them again!
