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 bronco fan!  I just got a phone call from our daughter today!!! Happy 4th of July!!  Her attitude was great, she loves it AND hates it!  She hasn't even started PT yet!?  They are having a huge celebration tonight!  The President will be there for the Fireworks display!  I asked if she gets to see any of it??  She said she does get to clean up after it!!? So the boots are like sandpaper and the beds are like cardboard, that must be the hate part.  One week down for us moms, here we go!!
