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."

ericsmom and Bonnie... they will print their W2 off of that site called "mypay" they all signed of for mypay in BC... they do not get anything in the mail. They pull it up there. Yes free tax service on the bases. For my son it is an office in the NEX building. All free for the guys. The mypay site shows them each paycheck gross and net - all the deductions.. etc.
FREEZING here Ellie.... hopefully water tomorrow tho! yippie!!!!!
ericsmom - how is the broken heart by the way. Is he doing better now>

eric... all..... they signed up for "mypay" in BC... that is where they go to get all the paycheck deductions each week ( in lieu of an actual pay stub if you will) this is where they print that off. The bases have free tax assistance for them. At Pcola the free tax service is in the NEX building. but they go to their mypay and print off their W2s..... hugs freezin brrrr no water uggggg hahahahahah love yall

O Lydia...I'm so sorry for your newest challenge...Hope it will get taken care of soon...sending good wishes...
Hope everyone is staying warm, safe and healthy....
Carly Rae...we didn't go anywhere fancy..only restaurant was Giordano's...a "must do" for the Sailors... I think some of the hotels that had suites also had fireplaces..that might be a fun treat....
