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 daughter said she had been sick sinus infection, it was a big weather change for her i am sure thats what caused it. its been so cold there and where we live we had already been laying out in the sun working on our summer tans LOL so i bet that has alot to do with everyone getting sick the change in weather could be the the culprit.she did say that she was being taken care of and was doing better so thats good.
