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."

Poems to send to our Navy heroes
I was just looking for different things to send my SR in boot camp and found some poems. These made me cry so be warned...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Navy Hero Son
This world has many hero's, although you may not know their names,
It's apparent that they gave their best, yet rarely get the fame.
But among all of the hero's, this world has ever had
There's not one that I admire more than my Navy lad.
He's more than just a hero, he never looks for praise
He's heroic in his quiet strength, and in his caring ways.
He may not be as famous as those you hear about or see
But he's everything and so much more a hero ought to be
His life is on the line every day and every night
Every minute he's on guard, in case he has to fight
My son's a patriot, a brave and gallant man
Proudly serving this country
And my pride I'm sure you understand.
There are many things needed to keep our country free
My son makes the sacrifice, for you and for me
When I hear about a hero, and the special things he's done
It reminds me of my son, for he's the greatest one!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Hero
When Freedom needed heroes to answer duty’s call,
You packed your bags and left home for the greater good of all,
And though I can’t be with you, I still do understand.
You have an important job to do in a distant foreign land.
You represent so many things, even though you are not here.
Courage, Faith and Honor, the message is quite clear.
So until your job is finished and you’re back home to stay.
Remember, you’re my hero and in my prayers each day.
