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."

My daughter graduated yesterday and it was such a wonderful thing to see. I loved it when the divisions came marching in. They all looked great!!!! Good luck to all of them. It was fun to be with her and here the boot camp stories. We laughed all afternoon. It is something I will never forget. The flags were wonderful also. Everything was.

At the airport in SLC, got through security in record time, thanks to a bum knee and a wheelchair. See some of you tonight.
