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 Becki!
*waves from Northwest Houston area*
My daughter left from Houston MEPS for BC on July 24th. I'm still waiting for the form letter. I've been concerned about her passing the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), but I figure "no news is good news".
Hang in there!
