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."

Les, I'm in Atlanta, son in Mayport, FL assigned to a ship. Friend me and we can share privately. Anyone else on here from GA please feel free to Friend me and I will try to put together my list of GA moms unless someone else already has a list and would be glad to share it with me. Haven't been on here in a while due to overload of work and projects this late summer and fall. Best wishes for all to have a great second half of the week.
