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."

Miguel - Navy - 10 males & 1 female - They have requested air fresheners, snacks, razors, shaving cream, games, and playing cards. Pillowcases are a go.

#2

Anthony - Navy - 5 males - They requested microwave food, snacks, and water bottles. Pillowcases are a go.
