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."

My son just got notified that he will be joining the USS Gravely. His last ship had a facebook page where they posted pictures and things. Does the Gravely have this as well. I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the change. Navy life is still new to me.
