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."

The Ct navy moms sent out 36 boxes paid by Molly’s and another 10 boxes paid by CT Families. We had a girl scout troop show up at the packing party with hundreds of cards and letters and donations from then and a boys scout troop.
If anyone gets a note from someone from the ship I’d love to share it with them.
Thank you
