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."

Oh yes I am trying to occupy that dead time at night when I use to spend with britt watching her do homework or play on the computer or text her friends during a movie lol man I even miss that! If I'd known she was leaving so soon I wouldn't have yelled at her for not emptying the dishwasher with me on Sunday....but she was a smart a-- as usual ;)
& asked what I'll do when she's gone, so I did cry when I emptied it ALONE... Shell be happy to know I missed and appreciated her help but mostly her humor when we emptied it together, between each spoon she would text....oh the things I'd get mad about....so glad she's gonna get to hug me again ;)

Oh I found a lady that does laptop bags embroidered for $35 I ordered 1 for everyone in my family, when they come I'll post a photo ;)
