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."

could you send me the pic of all the sailors on deck as they left? I bet my boy is on there. Did you see a new guy with red hair? I sent you a friend request. I can message you my email.

I count 3 maybe 4 of us if Tracy (I am Tracy alsoLOL) from 2012 is still on board. Lets keep up being in touch. There is a USS Bainbridge group, however there has not been any posts since 2009. This group might get more support, like Dad of a Sailor is awfully helpfully thanks Dad. So did it leave on time?
