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."

So proud...
While underway we honor the hardest working junior Sailor each week with the Sea Warrior of the Week award. One lucky Sailor gets 2-day special liberty, a nights stay in the CO’s at sea cabin, a Sea Warrior of the Week pin, head of line privileges for one week, pick of the movie for Saturday night and the coveted $10 MWR bucks.
Yes, Nick earned a nice award.
