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 daughter recieved a package today..forgetting she ordered something asked if it was from me..after laughing with her she told me it was self tanning supplies ..she said "mom I'm so ugly here I have to be tan" part of me knows she joking and the other part so much..she has always been self conscious and worried about what others think and I guess I was hoping that part was gone but she has only just gotten to A school...while I am so proud of her this broke my heart thinking about the pressures of today on women..even in the mitary....I'm hoping the longer we travel through this the more confident she will become..she is so beautiful inside and out and I'm hoping she will see this through this process!

Amanda, you just changed your profile name, which is fine, but I just posted a note in the BC Mom group. Hopefully it will be figured out. I put some other group links in your discussion.
