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."

Its your call mame. My preggo butt got on !these boys were loud and bragging about what they and were not gonna take from anyone when they arrived at camp. when the came to a stop the door opened and i could hear a loud voice yelling for them to get their soft asses off the bus! The boys shut up got up and quitly got off the bus. These guys got on the bus at the airport as boys and by the time we reached base they were on the way to becoming men! I told my son when heleft that he has taken that ride once before .
