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."

Curious what school your boyfriend is going to after boot camp - there are only a few rates that have two years of school. Our son is one of those rates, he spent the first year in GL and then went to VA for the second year and now he is in ...Hawaii. Let me know if you have questions.
