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."

I just got an email from Nicholas! So glad their email is back up, plus he was in one of the pictures posted on the S.A. last night, perfect way to end my weekend!
Cyndi -- I think O'Hare is closest, but sometimes you find better deals flying in and out of Midway or Milwaukee.

I am amazed at these young girls! I would never dream of being rude to my mother in law! The gall! Like I said ....Make a decision to just love them, and eventually it will smooth itself out.It is what you call picking and choosing your battles I guess.
