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."

Hello everyone i just wanted to let you know that the meeting on the 27 of april we are suppose to be doing the lei but i talked to the frg yesterday and they have already done it with us. i dont kno if tht meeting is still gonna be something to do with the homecomming but since they went ahead and started and finished the lei i guess we wont be dont that. i was extreamly upset when i found out cause i think that the familys should be a big part of the homecoming stuff. Or at least know about it and be able to make the choice weither or not they wanna be a part of it.
