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."

television commercials began, ironically, right as my son was signing up. It just seemed the natural thing to sign up for and here I am. You guys have been very helpful in answering my questions.

my son's recruiter handed out a little brochure with a magnet in it to all the moms at their Future Sailor Picnic. April was their fun month, so instead of regular DEP meetings, they went bowling one week and a picnic the next.
