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."

Congrats to Matt's Mom and USNMom! It will be over soon for your DS. The graduation is very moving--enjoy. (And take them out for some good food!) We went to the White Horse Tavern after graduation and it was exquisite. http://whitehorsenewport.com/ There is also an upscale Mexican restaurant in the historic home of a famous Naval Officer called Decatur House and the restauarant is Perro Salado http://perrosalado.com/location and then lots of terrific seafood restaurants on the bay--the Black Pearl and the Mooring are our favorites. (We have family there.). Good luck to both NFOs. They will be flying soon!!
