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."

Since I'm a new DEP mom and we'll have a year til my son goes to BC, I was really hoping some of the seasoned members here could give some tips on the best photos to take and the ones that you don't want to miss through the whole process. I sure would hate to miss some special photos that I wished I would've taken. I would even be more than happy to compile a list that we could put up permanently for all group members. I started a discussion thread already, so please make a moment to give your best advice. THANKS!
