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."

Just thought I would start the discussion.  It would be nice to get to know some of the families before graduation.

Well I told my boss that I may be getting a call.  When the boss isn't being a jerk he is pretty nice so he doesn't care if I take the call.  Here's hoping and praying!!!!

I got a letter yesterday, She didn't mention anything about BS.  But she did send me all her rough draft sketches of the Division Flag.  They look really good in black and white.  She said that they will be colored for the T Shirts and Flag.  I can't wait to see them, and of course my sailor.
