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."

Kathy !!! Hi :)
What a good looking young man. Talk about proud - just look at his face and his body lanuage. So very proud. Now if my son saw this - he would say it was because he was finally off base and eating a good ole White Castle .
I hope Trina sees this message Kathy and will answer. She really knows. My son has beenin for two years as a MN, but honest I am not sure what he is doing eithor. Espeically when one of his shipmates sends a picture of him in his dress uniform coloring pcitures with some first graders in Inidan. I guess that was Navy Freindly Day.
Havea good weekend and thank youf ro shairng the the picture.
