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."

To this day, we are still friends =) when we "met" my twins were almost 11 yrs old, and there's were all in diapers--now one of mine is in college--and the other will be calling me today to tell me he is a SAILOR!!! =)
