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."

The first week sucks, TBH. :)
Now I'm adjusting, and keeping busy. Being a Mama is full of bittersweet moments. We raise them to be strong and independent. Yet when they flex their wings, we want to stop the clock.....
