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."

Hi everyone, so nice to hear all the good news, keep it comming. My son finally called today, I didn't get to talk to him but my son gave me all the information. He says he is doing good working real hard taking a lot of test. He says the physical training is not so bad, but he has been very busy. He also says everyone is the division is very nice, working hard, and doing good. I'm so relieved to hear from him. I've been having fun shopping for my outfit for the big day. We all are going to look great because we are so proud and to finally see our sailors, that we will all be shinning. Looking forward to hearing and sharing more. Until then be well.

Hi again! Pretty exciting day for me at least I went to my closest base and got my military ID. So now I can drop my very expensive work insurance. I also checked out the exchange/ commisary. Really really cheap. I really couldn't believe how inexpensive groceries are. I also received an entire weeks worth of letters! I miss him so much! Anybody belong to SR Groves , SR Jones and SR Gutowe? My husband says he is friends with these guys and I quote "Thay are cool" LOL. Only 26 more days!!
