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."

Ok ladies, Are we ready to see our new saliors. i am almost packed, well, i am packed, just waiting for the husband to get his stuff together.. I let him pack his own clothes, because I don't want to hear, i didn;t want this, or that.. So I figure it would be a lot better if he does his own. He is printing out the directions and stuff now.. All I can say is that I am SOOOOO EXCITED. I know this is a day we have been waiting for, for the past 8 weeks.. Congrats to all of us.. We now have Sailors.. yippee. yippee.. My daughter got stationed here at home, so that is great... and leaving as an E4, What a great job.. we are proud of our girl...... See you all tomorrow night.. and looking forward to it........again.. Congrats.. Well, i am signing off for the night, and i will see you all tomorrow night.... Good night, and all have a safe trip......
