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."

ah maybe my question should have been;
Who has Verizon and who likes it? If you dislike it let me know also. I need to change and so far this is supposed to be the best one with the best coverage.

Amber, you mentioned Verizon. Do you use that as your cell carrier? If so, do you like it? I am thinking about switching to them.
Drive safe for those of you leaving today and tomorrow!
