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."

Good Morning Ladies hope you all had a Great Weekend,

Bandmom that is awesome News! So happy you and your Son were able to do that.

It was a very nice heartwarming Mother's Day for me. My Son is in Town and it's been very nice to have all my Kids around to share this Day with. My Grandbaby is getting bigger and more alert than ever. Well my Son mentioned it will be another 6 -7 months before I will be able to see him again, so making the best of this time now. And I cant beleive how much he has Grown (both Ways) LOL! But looks good. Very muscular I think that is what makes him look big. cant imagine all those months not seeing him what he will be like then.

Well Ladies have a Great Day!
