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."

The actual show starts at about six and a half minutes in, but it's interesting to see them setting up and listen to the bridge running a simulation.

Here's this morning's video from the Wasp! (I used the embed code from http://www.livestream.com/usnavy.
That was so much fun! And that we got to see one of "our" sailors, SO cool, especially since we had one asleep, one too shy, one off the ship on liberty.

@Earl's wife - that was great to see your husband do a shout out to you on the live stream today. Made me cry! My son was in the shop, just behind the camera. I texted him and told him to come out and walk by they camera. He said nope, mom, I'm ok. Sure wish he wasn't so shy!
