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."

Well, we got the box today. I did not realize it would be so quick. Was so excited that he wrote a letter on the plane and wadded it into a tiny ball that looked like trash and put in his pocket. It was good to hear they had a good trip and made it out just before the storms. He said they saw a beautiful sunset on the plane....I always tried to make them notice little things like that growing up so glad it stuck. He was also excited that they got to pick where to eat in the airport during their long wait at DFW and it was paid for...he was excited to not have to part with any of his cash yet. Hope you are doing well, and I wanted you to know they had a good trip.
