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."

Hi, Mom isn't coming with me and I'm still trying to get hold of another Seabee Mom to come with me.
I hear Sugar Ribs is a good place but just remember to lock your doors ladies.
Oh, I just got word that my son just got promoted to HN2; Second Class Petty Officer.....Doc Farris. He's attached to the Seabees 24 in 'The Big Sand Box'.
So excited. Can't wait to meet all ya'll.

I will be with everyone in Spirit. Patrick was raised in Chattanooga - Hwy 58 close to Harrison, went to Harrison Elementary and we lived there from 90 to 98. Our best friends still live there and we sorely miss TN! thats where we got our appaloosas - from Signal Mountain and brought them here to TX.
