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."

Some one on N4Ms Texas Moms page posted the following ~
My grandson called last night and said they were briefed yesterday and were told that Great Lakes is on lock down. Non military will not be allowed on the base because of the high secuity alert . All this because of what happened over the weekend. Hope it is lifted before Friday PIR-would be said that they new sailors would have no family to watch their PIR

I have posted this question on the RTC FB page and am waiting for Sue's response. As soon as she does I will post her response here.
