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."

Shelbie, our SAILORS (we can call them that now!!!!) have had to lean on each other just as we have. We are all living a new way of life. Moms, wives, fiances and girlfriends it doesn't matter; the loneliness, the feeling of something missing and the unknown can be more than you can handle on your own. Boot camp is just the beginning. No matter where our Sailors go, we have each other. I can't wait to meet you!!!!!!
