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."

My daughter is in Bootcamp. She is struggling with her PFA, and I feel like she's giving up. Additional prayers for strength and endurance would be appreciated. I've also been praying that she meet a few friends who can help to encourage her while tying to pass!
