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."

Wow, ya'll, I had a great time!!! It was so nice to meet all of you and make you my newest friends in Indiana. There was so much to talk about, we really needed more time! We had 17 folks join us, plus the family of a retired sailor who joined us by coincidence at the memorial. I'm already looking forward to the next one... Hugs, k.

Remember the traffic is extra heavy downtown this weekend due to the college basketball tournament. Allow yourself some extra time in the morning.

Dawn, you don't have to do the "whole sh'bang." Come for what you can and leave early, if that makes things easier for ya'! Truthfully, speaking as a displaced Texan, I'd rather be going to San Antonio with you! k.

If we have Mom's memorial on the 21st, I will not be able to attend two weekends to Indy in a row. Just keep me in the loop. It's a great lay out of events!
