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."

Never have the words "see you Friday" sounded so good.

Thank God in heaven...

For some reason the words "band of brothers" comes to mind. From what he told me they were just that and came together when they needed to the most.

Life is good!!!!
