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."

Yes, we hear from Justin several times a week-he calls and texts. Nothing for him to do there (sounds kinda boring) but his xbox and tv. He's there for 2 yrs.

Thanks, Terry.

Ingrid, handsome picture. I'm glad he's happy. Justin hasn't been able to make friends as yet in WA because he's not allowed to speak to those with a higher rank. I feel so very bad for him-hoping that gets better. He does like the work though.

To clarify, I just now did it. I wouldn't have known about it had it have not been for you, Ingrid. (when I re-read what I wrote it didn't come out right).
-

Thanks, Ingrid. I've already done it. Now I wait to see if they choose to use it (I guess, it says, that they'll send you an email if so). Justin would probably kill me but you know you can't stop a mother's pride.

Fantastic news, Pam. I know you're proud-I would be.

Yes, Jen, God Bless and may you have a speedy recovery! (Thanks, Diane, for letting us know). If you want to email me I'll be happy to send her a get well card: maniacix40@aol.com
