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."

If anyone gets a letter and or pics would you send me a copy?  I'd like to share it with the Girl Scout Council here in CT and with STOP N SHOP in my hometown of Trumbull.  The manager of Stop n Shop has been extremely supportive with each packing  party I've done.

Thank you
