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."

My son wrote and said flying out Saturady and leaving early in the morning for the airport, he didnt give me the important news though, like which airport. But at least he said Saturday, and that he will get to spend the day with us after PIR, and doesnt need to be back untill 10:00pm. so I am excited. now I am hopeing I can get a gate pass on saturday at the airport, but first I need to find out which airport, if anyone else hears more info let me know!
