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."

We are actually in Illinois, about three and half hours away from Great Lakes, although it could be a million miles away just now. We have a few friends in Virginia from our navy days although we were never stationed there, in fact one of my very good friends is coming for my daughters PIR from there.
