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."

Anyone has a son/daughter in this Division?  My son will graduate 12/02/2011 (estimated, I guess - we haven't gotten the formal letter yet).  I'm so excited for him!  And proud beyond belief!!!  If you reply, please let me know where you live (at least the state) - I live in Texas (deep East Texas, close to Louisiana border). 

Everybody hang in there!  I know there is still lots of time left before we see our kiddos -- but they are going to be in such good shape (both physically and mentally).  Their self-esteem is going to be great!  We need to be strong for them!
