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."

SurfinCin, I'm from Northern Cali., If I can, I'll try to get a picture for you. I'll try to have my son find him. My son is one of the chaplan assistants of their group. Have your son identify himself to my son and I'll make sure we get whatever messages, pictures, cell phone videos back to you if we can.
