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."

Reenie, thanks for reminding me - we need to ask our SR's where in line/formation they are marching. They will have the division flag, so that cuts it from almost a thousand to less than one hundred. I think they can tell us fourth one back on the left, or something like that. I need to write to mine so they can send that info, and I need to tell them to give me their place in MY eyes. my left, their right, etc.
G'nite ya'll
