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."

From what I understand, they were posted by an officer who works with div 191 so the pics are primarily of them, but since its from the Captain's Cup there may be a few pictures with other divisions in them. He happened to take pictures and was nice enough to post them.

That's the site. Hope that helps!

Yes, Maggie!
One hour down. I can't believe they are actually in Battlestations right now.

My verse I'm claiming tonight... Isaiah 41:10:
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
