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."

I hope you all get one today too! I am in a puddle of tears.  I've kept it together so far, then seeing him in the pic just opened the flood gates! But all good/happy/proud tears!

It's a pic of him in his blues, waist up, hands crossed in front of him with the flag behind him. It says "proof" across it.
Comment by Sparkling on August 18, 2011 at 2:53pm

Seems alot of them got sick, part of  the norm I guess.

 

Mann-Clan, I'm sure they will do whatever is needed to get him to pass.

My SR, my fiance, turned 20 during P-days. When we graduated last June we were both going to the same college. Then that summer he asked me "What do you think about me joining the military?" I told him as long as it wasn't the army or the marines, I would support him and be there for him the whole time. His brother is in the Navy too, so it didn't really surprise me. We went to OSU last year, and he was in DEP since last summer. :)
