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."

Thank you all... We are so excited for our daughter - and I will tell you this morning I think she walked a little straighter. I have learned so much the last couple of months just reading. Finally got the courage up a couple of days ago to start asking my own questions. This is a great tool. Thank you for helping us newbies

NauticalMom, thanks for that post. My son leaves for Great Lakes in Jan. He seldom wears a shirt that doesn't have Navy or "Fulfill your destiny" on it. I know he doesn't have a cap without Navy on it.
