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."

Hello Dawna, I have a hard time with my son in VA now for 3 1/2 years. Hope you fly over and see her better than I can. I have a 5 year old granddaughter who is a big problem for me. I have only been able to see my son every 6 months or so. It's hard but you can do it too. I am proud of him but miss him very much. Good luck Dawna.....You can do it. Congrats to Heather too.. Debbie
