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."

Go to main page, Grandma2Tuesday. Scroll down , In the middle section you should find the live stream. I just checked and it is still there. I couldn't find my granddaughter or daughter. It was a sea of white. Hope you have better luck. Go Navy
