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."

My husband was also a sailor and as to whether the ground shakes - that's kind of personal . . . but we have been married almost 25 years:)! . . . AND I was born and raised in the SF Bay Area - earthquakes aren't bad.

Tornadoes scare me. Although I am not fond of earthquakes, they last for a moment and then it is over. Where did you guys meet all these sailors???? I am now wishing I had one!!!! Oh I do....my son, but that doesn't count!!!!

I just would like to say that I take my cover off to those who attempt the Navy SEAL's. Much braver than myself. Forgive me if I have offended any of you.

Speaking for myself, I'm hard to offend. After all I was the wrestling team's "mom" for eight years and wrestler's can be quite offensive:)!

LOL TOOO True :)
But I have no problem getting on the mat with anyone.
I raised that wrestler you know !!

I just got back on for a coffee break.. Christopher, you ARE A BRAVE MAN for getting in the middle of this group. They really do have a sense of humor, but as you guess we are mom's, daughters, wives of different branches. My father (AKA biological BOB) was an army recruiter.

Well put! Today I am the daughter of a retired cop and the mother of a Navy almost Sailor and soon to be mother of another one. I used to tell people when I was a kid....Do you know who my Dad is????? Well then......

Yes. PVE is just down the street. We were over there at one point. Now we are in the Portuguese Bend. I sit right on one of the slides. It is lovely! But I am down on the beach so I can't really complain. Trumps is just south of me. Right next door!
