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."

Oh wow!  How's he doing?  Getting settled in I hope!  My DS loves Japan - been there about 18 months now.  Is he living on or off base?  Mine is off so the first thing he did was get his license and buy a used car.  I think they just keep selling them down the chain to the next incoming, haha!  Nothing to write home about, but it gets him to work.  His roommate, when he was in San Diego, is also from NC.  Both '12 USNA.  Good luck to your DS!!
