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."

Not me, but SR's grandpa was Navy helicopter pilot/officer many, many years ago. None of ever met him though. Copter exploded after dropping officer's off after dropping them off from ship to shore when mother-in-law was 13 yrs. old. I think Great Grandma is pretty proud though. She always has a lot of stories about where she has lived and other Navy officer wife experiences.

Not just Navy in our family. We are also Marines and Air Force. My dad was air force, two uncles are Marines, grandfather and brother in law are Navy. Now my daughter is Navy, too. We are a family of service to others. We have doctors, nurses, police officers, and teachers to go along with those that serve in the military. When she told me she was joining, it didn't surprise me.
