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."

dawnl hopefully we will have some answers soon regarding the Cardinal Game. I'm so excited, but I'm a little sad too. Are you going to attend the game? I think we will go up the night before to get a little more time with our son. He has several friends from our town that want to be at the game and witness his swearing in. Some of the questions I have are regarding the picnic and how many tickets we can purchase, can his friends and family sit in the same area that he is in at the game. I just want to know.
