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 Linda! My son is on ship 13 div 149, graduating 04/09 and going to CTT school in Pensacola. I have been talking to a recruiter in the Q/A group about CTT school and their jobs afterward. I think this is going to be a great job! I had no idea until I started talking to Old Crowe. We are driving up from Oak Ridge, TN and I am so excited to get to meet some moms at the meet and greet. I hope to see you there!
