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."

this is great.... Cant wait till PIR I already reserved car trying to use FF miles for airfare as the flights back to florida are high due to it being spring break. Advantage rental car had a great rate it was 51 dollars for 3 days total on a large car. looking into the marriot or springhill to stay and more than likely going to sarges pre PIR party on Thursday.
