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, I'm so glad you joined this site you will find out how much it will help you when the departure gets closer and Colters on his way to BootCamp. My Daughter swore in the same day as Colter, but she left for Bootcamp Oct 3rd...So its only been 9 days for me and due to all the great people here, I'm still not gone off the deep end. Also I have a few photos of Colter Swearing in on my IPhone if your interested. Keep in touch and welcome.
