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."

Glad to hear our boys are friends!! but my memory is failing me! I know they were both going to be corpsmen, right? And is your son going to GL for school? What for? And you got a note from him today or yesterday? Are you writing on days other than Sunday? Have you told me your son's last name? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks! Robin
