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."

There was an excellent profile picture of him on their first PIR performance, but I have not spotted him on the last PIR. Still looking. Just hope and pray that they all survive this week!!!! Really be happy when the phone calls start coming in.
