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."

I wish I could come, but I'm still in Texas, which is a good thing. I've avoided all the snow and cold this winter though south Texas hasn't been exactly warm and sunny either. Still, I'm not complaining! I'll be home by Easter, so maybe you'll plan another event later.
And two other comments--1.4% raise is absolutely nothing. We ask so much of our military. If they make $20,000, they'll get a $23 a month raise. I don't know what salaries are these days; haven't looked in awhile.
Regarding Irish events, I miss all the Irish dancing--my daughter grew up as a step dancer!
