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 wasp already came in about 6:30 am eastern time. Sorry you missed it, but thanks to your links, I went to it this morning at 5:15 to check it out and was shocked to actually see the ship coming in. Thank you again.
