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."

Thanks for welcoming me. Yes, I'm not sure if he will actually be on the ship as the same time as anyone else's sailor here. I was told they are swapping crews? I'm a little confused at this point as to what is going on and not sure if the Antietam will still have SD as her home port or will move to Japan. I guess I should just get used to not knowing what my son will be doing from one day to the next. Ha!!
