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."

Hello all,
Such a fun weekend! He is staying at Great Lakes for Corpsman training! I will get to see him for a few more months. I am really liking that cause I can go shopping with him at the NEX store for a few months :) I did what several of you warned me about...forgot to get a good mom picture...so here is a photo with his girlfriend. He did not order photos (only grad dvd) becaues he decided we could go to Walmart and take his photo and save all that money for something else.
