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."

Tori, glad to hear from you about Ship12 Div 263. We have heard by mail from him but no phone calls as of yet. He sounds good in his letters and told my son that he's going thru X-box redraw. HaHa I say to that. It is good to hear that as a group they are doing well. Take care of yourself.
