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."

I'm hoping to walk from the Navy Lodge. Anybody else planning on doing that? I just know I'll be way to antsy to sit in the car and wait in line..or does anyone know if walking on base to the base is a no-no?
