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."

Fun, I can't wait to see what Kyle's room will look like when he comes home after A school. That is still a long time away from now....
This puts a smile on my face. I am looking forward to this when my son comes home on leave. Everyone have a wonderful, safe Memorial Day.
I can hear it already! Jeff told me he has masterd 45 degree corners on his bed!!!! I don't think he actually MADE a bed this year! Growing up!
Yeah, I had to lol at my son the other day he was upset that one of his roommates did not rinse out the sink after shaving and brushing his teeth. My son said how inconsiderate. I thought I was going to die laughing at that one. He was the worst .
My son was griping about how his shipmate leaves his clothes all over and his undies in the bathroom Geez I wonder who used to do that??LOL
Haha! :D
I feel like this thread could be an HGTV/or/TLC show, "while I was in the military". *giggles* Very cute.
I like the stuffed animals! Nice Mom!
That was supposed to be a seal, I bought when he talked about becoming a SEAL.

I could not find a seal, so I bought him a penquin instead - close enough, unh??
hahaha- awwww- yeah close enough!
Hee-hee Brenda . . . you crack me up:)!
Thanks for the laugh! I can't wait to see my son "make a bed" & IRON??? I don't think he knows what an iron is...(.IS that the big thing I throw my clothes into with a wet towel that spins them around and around? I Like the way they come out warm!!!! Sure gets the wrinkles out!) I can hear it now...."I have to Press down on this HOT thing & do what???"
I know just what you mean, I have to LOL when I call my son and ask what ya doing and he says ,I'm ironing my clothes. I really have to see this in person to believe it.He uses to just spray wrinkle remover on them and go.
Thanks for sharing..too funny!
