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."

SR Harris is now a sailor! So proud of him, cried through his whole call. He said the last haul was long and he was tired but had to call home first. Hey, would one of you post pictures of PIR for me, laid up and won't be able to make it no matter how much I begged the doctor. I didn't know if this day would ever come and can't wait till next friday gets here and boot camp is behind them. Thanks to all of you for the encouraging words that helped me through bootcamp.
