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."

I am so ready to serve my country! As a black American I feel lucky to have the right to serve the best country in the world as an equal. My grandfather wasn't allowed to because of his skin color. Those times are gone! The only color I care about is RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.
I.......AM A UNITED STATES SAILOR! Hoorah!!!!!!!
