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."

My son will leave for South Carolian to attend NUKE school. R has the greatest sense of humor.  His hair is dark, well what hair he has.  Beautiful hazel eyes that sparkle.  What about yours?

My son name would be with an R but that is not to say that he doesn't know him. I cant wait for graduation.  What is your son going to do after graduation?
