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."

Staci, funny story about that "working at Nestle" thing! Bill has been there 28 years. When he first started, he was working on the nut roasting line -- cashews. Mmmmmmm, imagine how yummy THAT smelled! Not to mention tempting! Well they told him to go ahead and eat all he wanted, which of course he did all night long on third shift. Come morning, he heads out to drive home -- about 30 miles away -- and --- well, let's just say there is a cornfield between Bloomington and Tremont that will never be the same!!!! AND he doesn't eat cashews TO THIS DAY!!!! LOL
