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."

Huh. I wonder if in photos if he'd be one of the one's wearing the orange vests in the random RTC photos posted on Facebook. If you haven't gone there check it out under Great Lakes Recruit Training Command and then LIKE tge page. Go under POTOS and there is a recent set under JULY 18th. Where or SR's division might be in one.
