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."

sorry Susie, I wrote and then scanned the page. wrong answer. And I didn't get one of those pictures. We did go in the NEX, but my son was so anxious to get off base, he didn't want to wait in a line. oh well.

each sailor's case is different Susie. You need to check with your sailor about his orders and go by that. Some leave right after PIR for school-it just depends on their orders.

You have back problems and need support, sit at the top of the bleachers and then you can lean against the wall. That's what I did. Helped a lot!

Mo, sorry to hear about the food poisoning! yikes. And I just don't know what to say about the ugly side of divorce and life. My husband missed 30 years with 2 of his children from his 1st marriage because of the wife's ugly attitude. All you can do is pray about it and be ready when he contacts you.

I left about 1:30 and they had over $100. While I was waiting to get on Broadway I noticed 200 feet west of where the car wash was being held was Capin's Car Wash. I will address that issue with our 'boys' tomorrow! lol
