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 know girl, there are so many stationed in Norfolk but it was the last place that Nick wanted to be and you know we just want them to be happy. He did call his dad first and expressed concern that he knew HI was so far and expensive for us to get to. Steve said ...Nick, I picked orders to japan when I had my choice. You did good - be happy, we'll get there.
