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."

From what I've heard it was rather serious, no one was hurt, but I think, not sure, but there's something going on with a freezer and chemicals, like I said I'm not sure...

There was a fire on board the other day, so know most of the ship keeps losing power and the internet is all sorts of screwed up, so the ship might be back earlier than planned
