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."

Hey all just checking in to if anyone heard anything yet? I was on my lap top checking my email when my cell phone rang. I looked at the number and it said IL. with a number. I yelled for my younger son to come in the livingroom so I could put the phone on speaker. With my heart racing I answered the phone only to find out it was the gym my son used to get in shape for BC! My son went into BC a month before his membership was up. We don't want to have to pay for the last month so we are going back n forth trying to get it dropped. I'm telling you my husband is going to come home one night to me sitting in the corner and totally have lost it! LOL Think I can sue the gym for mental cruelty?  UGH!

I'm Sam's Mom, He left Feb 7th  and I don't even have a letter yet ,I am losing it! Yes I think the gym should be sued for mental cruelty. I am ready for the butterfly net. My son Ship 2 Div 921. Sams Mom
