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."

NavyMom,
What a beautiful picture!!! You should share that with the other Moms of Daughters also. It looks like you have one beautiful piece of property.
Hope your Christmas was nice!! I got to watch my daughter in WA open her presents by Skype. It was cool seeing her face as she opened each one!!! Got to talk to all my kids but shared the day with hubby and one daughter.

Where will your daughter be stationed? My daughter is on the Essex out of Sasebo Japan. Her ship is an amphibious assault, so when out to sea and fully loaded there are about 1,200 sailors and 1,800 marines and their equipment.

Hi Moms of Navy daughters, We are enjoying a Green Christmas here in the foothills of the Sierra mountains, but the mountains do have snow on them, which is perfect. My sailor was tried of the cold @ GL and wants a sunny California Christmas, which she will get, as no rain/snow is forecast until after Christmas. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. If your sailor can't be with you, I thank you for your sacrifice, my prayers are with you and all our sailors. Navy Huggs ~ Vicky

That all sounds so good!! I won't get to see either of my sailors this holiday but I will be spending Christmas with one daughter and we'll spend New Years with my oldest son. My hubby is on his way here now!!!

I just finished the last of the baking that Katie wanted while she is home for Christmas....caramel rolls for Christmas Eve morning, spritz & molasses cookies, fudge....then there were some meals she wanted too. Bet there's a request for caramel corn and a last movie night together on Christmas before she leaves the AM of the 26th.
Have a wonderful Christmas...Blessings to all.
