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."

They do send out press releases about graduation. My son's was sent to the local paper where we live and the local paper nearest us. The editor of the paper knows him well (population 2070 lol) from his sports career in high school, she contacted me and asked for a picture to go with the press release for today's paper. He made the front page under Hometown Heroes....it was very nice.
