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."

Rosemary, I hope you do this again as I would like to participate. This Sunday my Sailor and I will be with about 800 others at the Out of the Darkness Walk for suicide prevention. I am pretty proud, he will be a speaker. Have fun!

Hello South OC Navy Moms...I live in Cypress which is sort of like the center of the southland. Do you mind if I join your group? I know of no one to talk with and share stories of my son's career.
I am proud of him :-)
