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."

Hello All...The pictures are great...It's so nice to have accomplished graduation and now we can look at the pictures which have become a wonderful memory.I still find it a bit surreal yet I feel so fortunate to have gotten through it...I know this is a long journey and as challenging as it is, I believe it is an amazing gift we have all received. I know it doesn't ALWAYS feel that way but when we put aside the fears and stress, it is easy to see that we are Blessed with courageous and caring loved ones who are doing everything they can to help others...It is a whole new world and I am grateful to have your amazing Sailors there for my amazing Sailor and for all of us to have each other...
Thank you all for your support as I waited to hear from my guy...it helped me tremendously...
Lydia, I love the picture, they are handsome, inside and out...I am so glad my son has connected with them, they sound like they are all on the same page and I know their hearts and souls are in the same place...
I am so proud of these incredible Sailors..they are all so special..I feel emotional thinking about every one of them...May Peace,Love, Good Health and Joy be with them and us always...
Lydia, good wishes and special prayers for B.....(and loved ones..lol) xoxoxo
