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."

If there is a mom from Columbus on here with a son whose initials are BW and is on the USS Arleigh Burke, there is a picture of him on the US Navy Photos of the day. Just thought you may want to take a peak at what your son is doing:) If you have trouble finding it, just pm me.
