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."

Our son will be graduating in a few weeks, then heading off to seabee training. Does anyone know what they do exactly or where they do it.  Do they ever travel on a ship, because I know this is a job on land somewhere.  Any help out there?
