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 - life has suddenly gotten sooo darn busy! Fall term started on Monday so I'm taking 2 classes, working full time and trying to keep up on here :-) Of course THIS is the most important LOL. I hope everyone is still doing well - it does seem that the time is helping to ease my wondering mind. I am definitely not as teary as I was...I only tear up when I think of seeing my "man", not my little boy, at PIR. I think we will all be amazed at the changes in our SR's. Awww tears are starting so I'm gonna stop now. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend everyone - we are headed out for one more camping trip before the snow flies.
