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."

Yippee! I can write my son. I contacted his recruiter, and received the information, sent 2 letters off today. Writing another tonight, and some jokes, to lighten the mood.

Being able to write,helps me feel better. Waiting for PIR date, received his box yesterday.

Anyone else child leave on or around May 20th?

Any Mecklenburg county VA mom's on this site?
