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."

Catharine, ok this is great. My hubby is there for PS. His last day should be 7/29 God willing. Our son and I went and stayed the weekend there for the fourth. It was nice. It seems like a quiet base. I wish him the best.
