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."

Hi Kim, I accepted your friend request. Hi NovaMom! So excited, I just signed up to the Color Me Rad in Bethlehem in August. Figure it'll give me something to look forward while my son is in Bootcamp. With my luck, it'll be the morning he gets to make a phone call.
