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."

Just heard from my son, the SAILOR! He said he didn't hear of anyone who didn't pass battle stations, so if you haven't heard from that special someone, it's probably good news!!! Friday can't come soon enough!
Go Navy!

I got my call roughly 2 hrs ago. He said battlestations were not as fun as he was hoping it would be but is happy that they are through. Despite that their div is one of the best, the RDCs are still not treating them well. He is frustrated and ready to get out of there and start his school in Pensacola. He is still a little sick and was tired but seemed alright otherwise. I'm very proud of him and the rest of the guys. Congratulations to our SAILORS!!!!
