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."

I am a little nervous, but I think that will resolve itself within the first hour or so of having him back. Mostly I'm just so excited that it's giving me heart palpitations! I can't stand all of this waiting!!

Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I am so happy for everyone on this board because it feels like we have been enduring the same feelings for so long! Good job to everyone on making it through and I am sure we are all proud of our servicemen and women...I know my fiance has definitely transformed into a stronger and tough man out there. I did receive the email about the brief but will not be able to attend...as bad as I would like to! If any are attending and would not mind to inbox me a few details that would be lovely! I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks everyone and I'm sharing the excitement with you all the way from Maryland :)
