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."

It starts on August 5th, we will all be in Great Lakes, watching our loved ones graduate. The problem is if you go to Chicago during liberty, and get stuck in the traffic. We are raising awareness so that if you decided to take your daughter to Chicago, leave plenty of time for such delays.
