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."

Laura, just sent you his address. I also wrote to a chief that was a student of mine. He either is deployed or preparing to deploy. I asked him for addresses so I'll let you know what I get.

This is the time of year with a lot of rotations--going out and coming home, so in a month or two, I'm sure we'll have some addresses. I did get the address of a JAG officer in the Army in Afghanistan who would enjoy St. Pat's cards if anyone wants his address. His mother is a retired teacher and prays for my son and all our military everyday.

I'll help, I just don't know any sailors out right now. I can get some soldier and Marine addresses, but it would be nice to support our sailors. I'll ask around.

Absolutely--I live in Rock Island though my sailor is now at GL for three years. Hope I spend more time in the Chicago area!

It's Laura that has to change the calendar--I thought it was Mary who had posted it. I sent a message out to all the Chicago and Illinois moms that the place changed. I'm leaving right now and getting on the road.
