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."

For all the moms who have facebook. If you add Navy Recruit training comand to your friends/favorites. They post PIR pictures shortly after PIR was done. Anyone not going could get pictures rather quickly that way. 5/21 had some close up pictures.
Also Honor grads should be posted in a couple of days on the Navy site. I'll try to fing the link to post it :)

carolyn- good to see you on here. Yes the M&G is there. Have you gone on to the M&G [event page] site?
I don't know about your div but if you are going to be there I am making corsages for the moms and I would like to make one for you. So far I have not heard of anyone coming from your div so I have not 'assigned' a color to 928.
But please let me know and I will find a color flower for you.
