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."

Lauren & Becky, Thank you!! We enjoyed the day so much! We will be the first to say "Yes" if you host one next year. I've already emailed our son to tell what a great time we had meeting the IN Navy Moms & Dads at your Lake Party.
Thanks again.
