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."

Just a little reminder but you all probably are way ahead of unorganized last minute me. Remember that they removed their batteries from their phones for shipping? Well, charging up the phone without the battery does little good. Thank goodness I took one more look in the box and saw the battery still in there!
