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."

SubMom - I won't be heading to MI until it's much warmer weather lol! I was talking to B the other day and he mentioned he bought himself some really good weatherproof boots. I guess he got caught in the rain a week or so ago between classes and said he spent hours in wet shoes/socks. He didn't want to do that again!
