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."

Did anyone see the one of him smacking the softball, or sitting on his Phalanx CIWS, or loading the change of Vice Admirals' battery? He won't even tell me what all the new medals and ribbons are for on his uniform. I ask him questions and he says, no, no and no. and Yes.

He also wrote on FB that he makes funny faces when playing softball, so I'm very glad he is doing some things he loves. Not just working his butt off.
