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."

I am really excited! All arrangements are made, just counting the days. I think everyone is quiet on here because we are all watching the ships facebook page, I know I am. Things will pick up here when they are back. Hope everyone is doing well. I may end up with another Navy boy when they get back.
