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."

Our granddaughter arrived in Gulfport in Oct. She was there for 3 months and loved it. She did her training as a Seabee, BU. It is a really good area. She graduated A school the end of Jan. but since she is reserves, she is done for now.
