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."

hola doris:

si esta es la parte ma dura,la semana k acaba de terminar fue su" hell week", y no tengo idea como le fue,esa semana es la mas dificil de todo el bc,recibo las cartas a trasadas y ando muy nerviosa pk no he hecho reservacion de hotel ni avion ni nada hasta k ella me de luz verde,asi me lo pidio ella,pk estaba lastimada de una pierna y habia fallado su test de la milla,y no habia kerido decir nada a los medicos por no atrasarse mas.

como vez esto no acaba hasta k se acaba como dice el dicho,ella ha pasado todos sus test menos ese,y espero en dios k ya lo haya pasado,hay k tener paciencia aunke sea dificil,pk no podemos hacer mas k confiar en dios,y en la fuerza interior de nuestros hijos.

suerte con tu muchacho,el camino es un poco largo todavia,pero con el favor de dios , todo saldra bien.

                                       saludos
