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."

Nope just said that they should be out of processing by this past Tuesday. But said the guys in his division were pretty good guys. Just a few that were gonna bring down the bunch but it shouldn't be too bad. Said things weren't too terrible at all and that they should start PT and probably have the swim test this week.

Wow, thanks so much for the tip, I did get an email invite from Gloria Lopez. You are right, I have so many questions. Most importantly, when am I going to get my son's address?? He left for boot camp on Jan 14th, and I already recieved his box yesterday and cried all over again!
