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."

So happy for you that you sold your house and have finally found a new one! You are starting a new life, including school-May the Lord bless your time in college, giving you wisdom and the ability to remember and recall all that you learn, not only on the exams, but in the career you will step into.

He had me coach him on how to make my scratch marinara sauce to celebrate with his friends tonight.

Comment by oneproudmamma on October 3, 2014 at 11:38am: That's great!! I can't wait to see my daughter either. She's on the USS Laboon. I'm not sure if her ship is on the tour or not. But, it's going to be great getting to go experience it all with her.
