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."

My son on the 22nd. We were not home and a fed ex package was attempted to be delivered I'm hoping it's his box. I'm staying home all day tomorrow!!

SoCalmom, yes, it may have been. (Check your My Page.)

To others who have not received "the box": If you have to leave home, leave a signed and dated note for the FedEx driver to leave a box or package from GL. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC will let you know what is happening and what to expect.
