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."

Hello, I am an RN/nurse manager in an out patient procedure clinic. My son leaves for boot camp tomorrow, 11/9/15! I'm very nervous but excited to see my boy embark on this adventure. We are watching him swear in but I'm so afraid I'll embarrass him with my tears!!
