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."

So Very Proud
I am over the moon! We received a letter from our son yesterday and I have to share. He went into the Navy as "Undesignated" , not knowing what he wanted to do job wise. He figured he'd be on a ship, doing what ever job was needed. Well in his letter yesterday, he let us know he has been chosen for "Ceremonial Guards", the "Face of the Navy" as he calls it. He will be stationed in Washington DC, participating in ceremonies from inaugurations to Navy funerals at Arlington National cemetery, and foreign official arrivals.Such an honor to be chosen. I just had to share- I can't wait for PIR October 11th!

Congratulations! We live in the DC area. A Navy friend of ours passed last year and my husband attended his memorial service at Arlington. It was absolutely incredible. The people chosen to perform these duties mean so much to those involved, and truly touch everyone's heart. What an amazing honor for your SR.
