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."

2. oldest son is a Country western DJ. Here in Rockford a big festival is happening and naturally my son is working it. Well, he had to work during the first concert of Dierk Bentley in the light - CONSTANT drizzle of rain.

The DJ had their pants beaten off by guys doing wheelies around them. But guess who caught a cold ?- my son So know our cook out might be chicken soup.
