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."

Thanks for the add.  My son leaves November 10th.  Gone for the holidays will be the hardest for this family, but we have faced greater challenges, so this too we shall pass.  Looking forward to the many adventures of my son!

I'm new to the group so very excited with talking with all of the Navy moms who are part of this group.

Does any know if the Navy provides glasses and contact lens to them? When we go out to IL in Nov. for his graduation, he will need contact lens.  Do I buy them or the Navy provides them?
