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."

Ship 12 Div 058.....anyone else?
Son left 12/5/11. Just received the form letter. He's Ship 12 Div 058. PIR 2/3/12. Got a very short note saying the Petty Officers were killing them. That was alarming, but then at the end, his usual sarcasm of "I'm alive so stop freaking out." That made me feel much better. Anyone else??????
