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."

Just joining. I live in Perryton Texas which is located at the tip top of Texas before you get into OK...but my oldest son Bryan is attending HT in Austin and is part of the UT NROTC program. His first semester he scored a 4.0 at HT and will transfer into UT next August. It has been an interesting first semester. Anyone out there at UT in Austin?

Donna is your on deployment right now too? I got my first phone call this morning at 4 a.m. I didn't answer it because I didn't reconize the number and luckly he called my husbands phone. He sounded good and they seem to be having a good time. He has been to some beautifu places. Road Trip!?! Why yes. I love road trips. We are going down in July when he comes back and I plan on standing on that pier waiting for him. My husband are wanting to take the cruise out of there to the bahamas but Josh said "hell no". LOL
