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."

There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail to sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.

Hi, Karen! Our son is also a CTT and Direct Support Subs. He arrived in Hawaii on Feb 16. We are from western PA. HIs car just arrived yesterday so he is excited to explore the island. We are planning a visit in December. Where have you stayed when you visited Hawaii???

I believe that they are charging admission because they want to build a memorial for the Missouri ( but i could be wrong )
hopefully they will build for all that was lost

Jonathan is a CTT. He is Direct Support Subs. He just called. He made it to Hawaii. He is going to call back later to give us all the details. :)
