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."

min pir'd 8/12/11 - he stayed in GL for A school. Took about 3 hours for check-in and we got until that night at 8:30 pm...next day from 6-8:30 and then we had to leave on Sunday to drive back to Texas, but spent most of the afternoon with him and got a late start driving back...was one of the worst heartache's of my life to see him walk away from our car in the parking garage on the base back to his barracks...i cried as if someone had passed away...we have all survived that and he is stationed onf the USS NITZE in Norfolk, VA - what a Sailor he has become. Now another heartache is approaching - deployment...i'll just think about that tomorrow...Southern Blessings, CIndy
