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."

I got a phone call today!!!! He sounds great and he has definitely made the best of it.  I am so proud.  I asked him if he was hating life or if he was glad he did it.  His response "I can have fun doing anything".  That's what I like to hear.

msu4ensics I spoke to my son today and I asked him if he knew Dobbs  and he told me he is his bunk mate.  My sons name is  Matt.  He said your son wrote a letter to my sons girlfriend just to bust his chops.  He said they were good friends
