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."

Good Morning :)
Gilda - wonderful pictures. And congrats on having a Shell Back now. Funny - I never it that they were WOGS first. Not until ALex called and said "I'm a Shell Back now". ALex had one concerned - how to get the camera away from Ricky while Ricky was going through the ceremony? Have to ask him what he did to get that camera. The pictures are wonderful. Hi JeriLynne. I agree - wow three of us.
Gilda havea fun at Fleet Week.
