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."

Dan signed up for the Navy in December 2011.  He graduated from High School in June.

It was the fastest summer ever, but we had a great time with friends and family.  His Grandpa on my husbands side was in the Navy.  Can't wait for that first letter!

Hi, we live just South of you between Cannon Falls and Oronoco. My son is in the same ship and Division and will be heading for Pennsecola for A school.  He is in the Navy because his Grandfather (they shared the same pride for the US) and this has been his dream since he was 8 years old.  I knew it was coming just did not think 11 years would go that fast!  :)

Keep in touch thru this journey if you wish ... take care;

You're welcome! This is new to me too, this is my 1st one to leave home. My stepdad was in the Navy but I really don't have much experience with graduations and everything. We are from Jacksonville, FL and will be driving up. We have already reserved a room at the Residence Inn in Waukegan. Have you already booked a room? Will you be attending any of the meet and greets?
