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."

Friends
Your friends will support you....
And respect your creativity for
thinking outside the box...
They'll be there when you need a
shoulder to lean on...
Or a great big hug...
They see beyond the black and
white to discover your true colors...
And accept you as you are...
even when you just wake up in the morning
So make your own kind of music...
Follow your heart wherever it takes you...
And when someone reaches out to you, don't be afraid to love them back...
They may just be a friend for life...
Practice tolerance and patience....
Good friends are hard to find,
harder to leave,
and
impossible to forget!
