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."

DRFP, where are you driving from? We are in Douglas, Coffee County. When are you leaving?

DRFP, I hope you have a safe trip as well. My husband and I are flying to Great Lakes from Dallas TX. We have not ever visited that area previously. We will be there in a little over a month.
