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."

Hi, welcome to the AECF group and congrats to your new Sailor on graduation! Now it's off to school at GL for about a year - will you be joining him there? Will he be an ET or an FC? both are great rates with lots of schooling on the front end. Please don't hesitate to ask questions - and welcome.
