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 work in a middle school. Work days go by fast, weekends seem to creep along. We are out of school from 12/23 until 1/10. I am concerned that the days are going to drag along. I am planning to do a bunch of different things. We may try to go camping.
