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."

I just love the Sixth Fleet Facebook site.  There are a couple more pictures of the Gravely on there this am.  I'm hoping someday I'll see my sailor in a picture.  But what a thrill for those moms/wives who do see their sailors!

Oh how exciting! A group of people on the same page a me! My significant other is on Gravely and I'm going crazy with the huge gaps in emails lately. I finally got a Skype call yesterday though after 2 months of not being able to see his sweet face!! <3

Sixth Fleet Facebook page has a couple of pictures of the new CO.  There are some recognizable faces in the pictures.  Hope some of you see your loved ones!
