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 got a call too... I was in my line of work out on a home visit in the middle of the country with one of my families when the phone rang... I jumped up from the chair and said, "I'm not sure about this number, but I'm not about to not answer it." It was him... He sounded all sick and he stated he was... But it felt good to hear his voice... I am ready to plow thru these up coming weeks to graduation day...
