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 boyfriend is currently in bootcamp, but is staying at Great Lakes for A school. I am from Milwaukee, about 45 minutes away. I plan on visiting the area a lot, while he's in school and just to get familiar. I would love to get to know other people!

My husband is graduating boot camp on April 1 and is going to corps school after that.  I'm hoping to move out to Gurnee mid to late-April.  I'd love to get to know some new people!  You can find me on Facebook with erica.asbury@gmail.com :)
