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 ladies,if all goes well my son who is currently at Whidbey is getting married here in Iowa this winter and will be bringing back his wife.  Between now and then I am going to encourage her to get on this site so that she might meet you and connect maybe in person when they get settled. More on all this as time goes on.
