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."

Yeah Debbie - It has been forever!!!!
Ruth - I understand. My son was stationed at Great Lakes for only 6 months or so, but it was a great six months. His then girlfriend and I took him to the airport when we he left for San Diego. We just sat - sad - in the airport and watched the plane pull away. We definately got spoiled while he was at Great Lakes.
Did anybody see facebook - Julie is going to be a grandma!
