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."

Hey IndianaMom. My husband has BS the same night. I agree I hope my husband has time to talk on Friday and can tell me more details about his flight. I hope his flight don't leave til that afternoon. He said once he gets there he is going to be on hold for 10 days.
