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."

Would Love to have went to this event, but this is one of my SA's last weekends at home, before he leaves on November 4th for BC! Finding that I am really gonna need a lot of support through this, as he is my youngest (20) and we are SUPER close! Some days are better than others, but lately I feel the clock ticking away, faster than I wish it would :(
