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."

My husband graduated boot camp yesterday and we are here in GL for his liberty, he just went back to base :( We are planning on doing the DITY move. He flies out Tueday for GC, do you guys know when he can come to Cali and get me? I was thinking it would either be this Wed or next Wed. I am so excited to get back to our regular life. Seeing him has made me the happiest women in the WHOLE world. <3 my Sailor so much!!
