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."

Stephani, I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, I know those anxiety attacks are just horrible. I've had them and I can just imagine her feelings. My prayers go out to you and yours and hopefully you will be able to see her when you arrive for PIR.
