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 I am so sorry about your mom, you are in my thoughts and prays. Just take care of yourself.
Michelle, you fell? How did you do that?
Mary, I am glad it was a great day for a baptism. Sounds like your son is doing good. Arabian sea has he been there before?
I miss you ladies, we do need to pick a date and try to catch up.
Barb is your son gone to Italy? He can call Stephen if he has any questions, we did not seem to get together for dinner with the boys, too bad it would of been fun.

You have been on a rough road Paula. Hopefully you can get to a rst stop soon! I am a bit burned out with my mom as well.
It is tough being a sandwich generation - caring for our kids and our parents. We could all use some time on a tropical island all by ourselves...well, I would like to add a cabana boy to bring me drinks!
