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."

I am very happy to hear that Tanner is doing great. I bet they loved the Gas Chamber. I heard that most guys throw up afterwards. They can't get sick on the floor or they get to clean it up. Imagine that. EGAD.
Of course our division is the best! :) -
