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."

Loquax's mom I will definetly keep you in my prayers and happy to hear you are going to PIR, It is well worth the trip. It took almost 3 weeks before I got my first letter. I cried. What a softy. Ladies let's all pray for the young sailor's family killed last week in Afghanistan. He is from the Miami area. Stay well and God bless

Loquax;sMom: PLEASE don't miss PIR. You will so regret it. If at all possible, go! The future graduations are nothing like PIR and most parents don't even attend them. So I pray that your husband reconsiders!
