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."

Walking on sunshine :)

Just had a 20 minute call from J!!!! Saw that 847 are code and my hand was shaking so hard I could hardly pick up my phone. I had planned to go out on my bike....thankyou God or that little headache that keep me from my plan?..I'd never have heard the phone. He sounded tire but good....says " get used to being tired" Told about the whole bunch having to do physical stuff after a donut got snuck back from somebody from galley..uh oh! Passed his swim test and said mail goes out tomorrow:) This momma is walking on sunshine.....or should I say "sonshine". :)
