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."

My wish for today - Our SRs kick booty - do so well the RDCs reward them with a call home. My fear for today, I will be working at the game and it will be so loud I won't hear my phone ring.....that is why I am going to carry my phone in my bra - now that is going to be hard to explain to the security guard that has to accompany me on all my money drops LOL - good thing he is ex-marine - he will understand when I say bootcamp call....Have a great day - can't wait to meet some of my support system in just a few days.
