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."

Thank you so much. I did save these on my computer. I especially relate to' My Heart Goes Everywhere My Sailor Goes' right now. My sailor is on a sub and he was able to call and text for a couple of wonderful days. Now nothing. So he must be down and under in the sea once again.
I won't be able to use these in my e-mail messages to him but I certainly have other places I can use them.
Thanks again.
