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."

We booked the lodge until Sunday just in case.. if not we will spend as much time with him as possible... -

Hi everyone. My daughter is in the same ship and division. Can't wait until we start to get letters and find out what is going on. I think the 'not knowing' is the worst part of her being gone. I just want to know that everything is okay.
