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 haven't heard anything about BS21 yet, I did read something on here about the different weeks and it said week 7, so I think the week before grad. We are going to try to come to the meet and greet, but we are driving with 3 year old twins so don't know how good of time we will make. I will look for the brown ribbon though!! I am so proud we are up to 9 members go ship 07 div 289!!! You guys have a great day. As my son put it only 4 more Sundays to go!!!!
