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 haven't heard from my son in three weeks. His birthday was last week, he didn't call and even wish his twin brother happy birthday. My birthday is tomorrow, the double nickels, which probably makes me the oldest of all you moms. If he doesn't call tomorrow, I may be arrested for stalking in Chicago.
