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."

Comment by Valerie (Brittany's Mom) on November 9, 2010 at 7:03pm: jck,
Ok, so I think I just got carried away looking at the pix! In picture #98, she is the third back on the right side. Loved the pix you took of their heads bowed during the prayer...must have missed that at the PIR because I don't remember...maybe my head was bowed too. Which one is your daughter?
