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."

Josh scored a 3.85. He amazes me!
Does anyone know if they can have more than 10 days leave after power school grad? My son has only had 7 days and has been in for 1 year and 1 month so he should have 25 more days of leave time built up. If he can't use it now, I wonder when he can.
