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."

YEA!!! PNM so glad you got your letters today. 1windhaven is correct they are tuff on them but they also take care of them. My so was having a very hard time adjusting so his CO let him call me before they were supposed to. It was only a 5min call but I sure was happy & it helped my son too. They do know how to take care of our kids for sure.

Glad those of you that could go to dinner had a rest time. Everyone had a safe trip home. Rangers 7 to 4 for those of you who are baseball fans. Bottom of the 8th with 2 outs. Go Rangers, go Navy!!
