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 have not been on here in forever!! So much to read and catch up on. My daughter just got back from a 7 month deployment with the Reagan it has been an interesting journey. I asked her while she was ported in Hawaii if she was going to the beach or going to watch the surfers on the ocean and she said "No, are you kidding I am going inland!! no ocean views for me" I am thankful to have her stateside that way I can call and text her whenever I want...the simple joys in life. Anyway...this is a great site to learn from and to chat with people who are going through similar experiences. Have a great day everyone!!!
