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."

My corpsman is celebrating a year in the Navy as of today. I cannot believe it has been a whole year that he has been in. It seems like he just left yesterday at times and other times it seems like a lifetime. This has been an amazing year. I have gotten a chance to meet some of you wonderful ladies. I have learned a ton about the Navy and the military in general. I can say that it has a wonderful experience so far. Cannot wait to see what the rest of his active time brings. Have a wonderful day everyone! Cannot wait to see the gals that are going to Bloomington. See you all soon.
