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."

It is gorgeous today. Mid 80s and sunny.

Nice!
Alot nicer than it is in Alabama.
I was sitting on hear looking back at all the comments. I just want to thank all of you. Reading your comments and talking to everyone has been such a blessing for me. When I didn't think I could handle it at times, I would come on here and it helped to know all of you were there. I can't wait to meet ya at meet and greet tomorrow night. God bless you, your SR's (or by now they are Sailors!) and have a safe trip up here.
Is it just me or does it seem our calls are later than other divisions?
It is starting to get late, but this is about the time that they happened. Could be any moment now. At least I hope it is. They started yesterday around 345 central time.

People are getting calls now!
