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."

It sure is a blessing to have people like you to lean on, wish or better yet hope his two grandpas and his best friend will be looking down from heaven cheering him on, they all knew his plans to go to navy and gave him the confidence to do it, we are all so just proud of him, the strength that kid or man has is twenty times that of my own! Thx again blessings to you for listening;)
