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 SR is doing well, he freaked out when i told him that i knew some of the parents/wives/girlfriends of some of his shipmates in his division. He thought it was too funny! He told me to ask for the last names of your SR's so he can know who i am talking to and he can let them know. He raved about the food. He is getting along with the other SR's he sounded good. We also talked about the future... He told me that when he gets stationed (hopefully in San Diego where i will be going to school) he wants to marry me! So if everything goes as planned i will be getting married in about a year and a half to two years from now. I am so happy and just wanted to share with all of you!

Oh Cait thats GREAT news!! Congratulations to you both! Dave said the same thing about my new on-line friends here... "who's mom's & girlfriends???" I'm like, I dunnoh, Cody's mom, a girlfriend named Cait & Lisa from NY. He says, last names mom, we only do last names here. I was laughing through my (happy) tears, thats funny Dave, we only "do" 1st names!!! My SR is David Catlin. Cait, he grew up with every teacher calling him David Caitlin incorrecly reading his name and he hated that!! Too funny, huh?
