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."

Hi there!

Just checking in to see how you enjoyed PIR. Were you able to go? I hope you are doing well and your Sailor is settling in to A School.

I bet they left on separate flights but rode the bus to GL together. My son got into Chicago at 5:30 and the bus didn't come to get them until 9:00. It's funny that your son's name is Brandon too, we have two Jason's also on this group that got there the same day. I looked the other day and I couldn't find anyone else from Arkansas. Kind of surprised me.

That is awesome! I'm glad he's doing well. We have two weeks left before Colby leaves. He's ready to go and super excited.

Thank you :o) I know he'll be fine, it's just hard to let them go.
