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."

Diane is the one you'd want to check with on that. Thanks to her, I was able to meet some wonderful ladies 2 weeks ago. I think she's thinking in March. Our son says one moment he hates the cold, next minute that he likes it. Silly guy.

Thanks, Diane, for shipping those boxes off. March sounds good to me. I'll be whereever it is as long as I'm able (meaning unless I've found a job by then and would be working). Completely ready to see our Justin. Mike and the girls can't wait and Justin's really excited too. I know our time with him will be short but I hope it doesn't seem that way.
