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."

I cried too for the 1st 2 days... Our dog paces back and forth in front of his room looking for him- that breaks my heart! I'm sure that they all will help each other as they are all in the same boat - no pun intended!! :)
