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."

Hey, Caran, I think you asked about SIQ in FB. It's Sick in Quarters. It means they aren't sick enough to go to the hospital and the kids are allowed to go back to work for limited duty.

Hi mom,s I am up here in MN. Not quite sure where you are all from. We are finally in the 20 degree range today. Last week our schools started 2 hours late because of the frigid -34 degree with windchill tempts. I don't want to even think about what the gas bill will be this month. we have also had snow 22 out of 24 days. I am ready to go visit #1 son in Goose Creek. He texted today that study hours were bland, not enough homework to fill them up. Told him to stay on top of it I was sure they would fill up his time. His other concern is his ipod quit working. Looking forward to staying in touch with you wonderful mothers.
