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."

I must matter who you work for because I asked my son (because I just knew that he had) if he had ever over slept, and I saw the smile when he said a couple of times, but he didn't act like it was a big thing for him. now he is on a fast attack and "i think" the sub guys have the privilege of being close and a little more relaxed
