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."

He volunteered for swcc...military something, which I DID NOT want him to do, he was turned down due to eyesight......he plans on lasix when finishing A school so he can be accepted. he qualified as sharpshooter, one more ribbon for graduation....he wants to be deployed overseas......they are giving him a hard time for NOT going nuke, the recruiter even tried to presuade him to do this prior to leaving due to test scores, and said he would pass along to try and convince him. He said he is NOT motivated my the salary........everyone calls him robocop..loves it, doing great, navy is great............little s@*T!
