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."

Holy Moses! I did it! I scraped together enough money for Robin (Joe's fiancee) and I to get up to PIR!! I can't believe it!
I still don't have a computer, so I have to wait to use my husband's when he gets home to read what y'all are chatting about...but I can see my son graduate! :) I'm soooo excited!!
C'mon Friday........*squinching up eyes and hoping*
Hi Mel! Sorry I haven't been able to say hello yet. Can't wait to meet you!
I vote that we all plan to sit together at PIR.
Maybe we should make a flag or something to indicate our seating? What say you girls?

OH heavens...I lost count of what I've written and what I haven't. I haven't heard anything from him in over a week. I'm a little nervous.
I'll just put a set of Mickey Mouse hands in my luggage and hold them up when we get into PIR. You can't miss giant, white, 4-fingered gloves waving over a crowd.
