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."

Jaron - when my daughter finished A school, she was sent to Sasebo Japan for 3 years on the LHD2 which hull swapped with the LHD6. Now she is in Norfolk on a 9 month deployment on an aircraft carrier.

Back when she started, the 90 days of cranking was either in the kitchen or laundry - she did Officer's laundry for that time period.
