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."

Congratulations!! Woohoo!
What a great reminder too, that you never know when they'll call, so write those questions down ahead of time and keep it with you and your phone!

Praying that our sailors will be able to call us soon! I have a good feeling about Sunday. Of course every time the phone rings I answer it! So when should I realistically reserve my room for graduation?
