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."

Hello all.  I am in Medford, which is pretty much in the central part of the state about one hour southwest of Wausau and about an hour and a half from Eau Claire.

I'm from Green Bay, smack dab in the middle of Packer Country :)

My son has been in for almost 2yrs, he's stationed in sunny SD on the USS Rentz. He is an EM3 and loves his job and the Navy!
