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."

Sunday, Sept 13th, a couple of us are working a food/drink stand at a car show in Chatham near Springfield. Otherwise, if you ever need to, let me know a mid spot between just north of St. Louis and where you are and I'll see if I can make it work. Let the Illinois page know where you are and you may find other families near you.
