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."

Well Ladies... I guess I am no longer a part of this amazing group... Our son was sent home due to medical complications with his legs after chronic compartment syndrome. He thought he would still be in the Navy at first but was informed he would be sent back home. We are all shocked after years of him working for this. I pray the best for you and yours...
God Bless and Thank you for serving!

Dear Tracy Mom, I am so sorry to hear about your sons medical complication.  I am sure this is very hard on him. He has so much to be proud of for the choices he has already made in his life.  I am sure God has a special plan for him.  I will keep all of you in my prayers.
