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."

Hi Rehne, thanks for the acknowledgement of PJ's commissioning and graduation. Unfortunately, my daughter is not on the Nitze but that would have been nice then our sailors could have met and been friends!! There a discussion that just started about possibly having a face to face with the other MI moms. Go on there and throw your 2 cents into the conversation. Let's all get together before the things get to crazy toward the end of the year!!

That fresh apple pie sounds awfully good, did you save me a piece? lol. Hey that smoked beef jerky sounds pretty good too!! Your son is one lucky guy! Sherry
