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."

Yes I'm doing ASL interpretation. I've got to get myself up to relaying at least 80% of the information plus learn the signs for everything. It is going to be a challenge. Things will look up for you too. I lost my Momma last Oct. so I know loosing loved ones is very hard. We must live in their memory to keep them alive. You are in my thoughts.

Katynorth is back! Welcome back , I missed you! Yes, I had a good birthday, 2 weeks ago!!! I'm old, 49 years old. I prefer the term middle-aged but my daughter says "that is what old people say when they don't want to admit they are old". What really mkaes me feel old is that my firstborn turned 27.
