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."

We got the same kind of call from our son in ship 13 div 385. He seemed very frustrated...something about the whole divisions graduation date may get pushed back. He said it is really hard but so far he has passed everything-it was great to hear from him.  Wish I could give him a great big hug and kiss!
