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."
Events

Hi MJ,
Thanks for the friend request. It was so nice to meet you at the packing party. You and your husband were so kind to visit with me at lunch. I did not know a soul when I got there. What a spectacular day, I am so excited for the crew to receive all the packages. I wish I could be a fly on the wall Christmas morning. Have a great week!
Take Care,
Bonnie (Prayforthesailors)
That would be nice :) Yeah I live in Waterford. I won't have my car for a little bit it's suppose to be transported here soon. I will let you know when I have mobility haha
Hey there!
Thanks for writing :) It is nice to know someone else lives here in Connecticut! haha! Yes I am very far from home and it stinks! But I will follow my husband anywhere :) Yeah I would love to get together with other Navy moms/wives! I don't know anyone here yet!
Boston--a great city. My Dad was born in Dorchester, did 3 years at MIT before being called up to the Armed Air Force (WWII and Korea) Wish we knew more about his service time--his records were burned in a warehouse fire--they've pieced some of them together, but those had not been microfilmed. Dad was not a talker and very hush hush about his time in the service.
MJ--I started with Molly's before our sailor even went to boot camp. It kept me busy and occupied for all the good reasons :)
MJ, You are approved for "MAS We Ship Love". TTYL, gotta run!
MJ, Thank you. I'll send you a couple of those bags when I go to the PO to mail grandkiddies Easter stuff. Pat
