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."

Taking a break to wish everyone a healthy and safe New Year. I had a wonderful time with my sons and siblings this Christmas. It's hard to believe my oldest already went back!! The time was wonderful, but so short.
Well, please be safe this New Years Eve. I wish all our Navy families a Happy New Year!!

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year. We have so much to be thankful for. I'm teary eyed just thinking about being with so many of my siblings and their families for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I will cherish every moment with them! God Bless!

Hi All,
I posted only usernames per 3 groups on my Home Page. I have many of the mom and son names, but don't believe it's safe to post on the website. Hope it helps

Hi Everyone,
There have been quite a few families that are trying to figure out who are in the following 3 groups: 281, 282 and 283. Is there anyway people can PM me so that i can put together a list and pass that on to the 3 groups? My son is in 282. We'd all really appreciate it. Thanks
Terry
