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."

Travis bear's Grandma, I couldn't get any sailors seeing their babies. I was back in the crowd of people. Only families with newborns and sm kids could go up at first. The rest of us had to wait. I hope you all like the pics I was able to get!
