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 work in the Southwest near Benbrook.
My son is aboard the USS Curts, and I will be going to San Diego in a couple for a short visit. I can't wait to see him. This is the longest time we have ever been apart. Being single, he and I got to be very good buddies while he lived with me before BC.
