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."

2 years ago when we were having airstrikes and whatever else was being planned in Libya, my sailor was on deployment somewhere out in the Persian Gulf, her squadron was given tentative orders to go to Italy to support the air strike, it never happened. They came home with the carrier. All of this happens constantly, Iran at the time was promising a strike on any US naval ship that was going through the straits of Hormuz, they claimed it was theirs, its not, but it is a huge shipping lane for the globe, we keep the shipping lanes open. My daughters ship went through the straits of Hormuz, all was fine, nothing happened. The ship held 10 Somalia pirates that had killed Americans, the dead Americans were also on the ship. Seal Team 6 was on the ship before they took down Osama Bin Laden. Our ships pass through the Suez Canal all the time, talk to a sailor that has done this passing, its a little bit errie. This is what our Navy does, this is what they train for.

I feel very uneasy about it. we are sending 30 ships over to an area that is suspected of using chemical warfare on their own land. and potentially arming a mad man. our military is not expendable! Or soldiers have families our soliders bleed and die just like anyone else. This is crazy....
