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."

Thanks Diane!! I got the call..was very excitted!! My son didn't want me to attend PIR so I never made arrangements. I did make reservations for the 30th of April because I don't feel I can go much longer without seeing him. I just don't know how much free time they will have but oh well. I guess time will tell. Thanks Tammy
