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."

Profile Information

A little about me:
My oldest son, Javi (18), just passed his MEPS and finally got his weight down to what was required. We are so excited for him because he really wants to serve. He is waiting for a job opening and so I am happy, anxious and at times sad that he is taking this giant leap into what we see as a great future. I have 3 other children ages 15, 10, and 5. I can't wait for him to start this great adventure but I also am nervous. I pray all works out for him the way the Lord plans. My niece, Jackie, also signed up earlier this month and leaves for bootcamp Sept. 27th. Javi and Jackie are 3 weeks apart and grew up together so I feel my emotions have doubled now!
I am here to support my

From networking with different people that are serving or have served, the Navy is really great. What I hear a lot is that you will get out of it exactly what you put into it. I am satisfied with this.
