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."

Diania - If you are on facebook, check out the video on the Vinson page of the sailors saying Merry Christmas...there is a girl from the VFA 25 that gets to be interviewed to say Merry Christmas to her family and I think it may be your daughter!
Hope you all are having a great day! We are FREEZING here in South Florida, I'm hoping it warms up soon!!!! :)

Merry Christmas!
Spent the morning at the beach, watching the sunrise and sending my love and prayers to our Sailors who are out there on the water, protecting us.
May each of you have a blessed holiday.
Merry Christmas.
