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."

Paula, you are a hoot! LOL I told you the memory goes first!!!!! I would love to go on a Tiger Cruise, but I guess I have to get Stephen on the water first. What history you have in your family. My father was in the Coast Gurad, he wanted Stephen to go into the line of service but he did not want too, but they both ended up on the water. My Dad is 88 and he tells the same stories also but I love to hear them because I know one day he will not be here to tell them, we are lucky to still have our parents. WOW and he is a writer that is wonderful, you really have a neat family. I will keep Holly in my prays and thoughts, I bet she loves what she does.
Hello everyone else! How is everyone and their sailors doing? Lets hear from you!!!!!!

Paula, I know you did, glad you found time at work.LOL Well good lucky, do you remember which of the four years that you bought it in???? That would be my problem I would not remember.
Well Michelle look at you here on the site. LOL Glad you are here! Yes that is very nice that Applebee's is doing that but no Applebee's in Italy!!!
That is for sure that all of our acting military and veterans should be thanked today and everyday.
Hi Ladies, how is everyone else?
