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."

Good morning all! Our sailor's 19th birthday is this week. He's in Pearl Harbor still, not yet out on his boat, and we'd like to have something delivered for his special day. Any guidance? At Groton there was an adorable bakery that went to base almost every day w/ goodies to help celebrate - Something along those lines...
