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."

Merry X-mas and Happy New and all that good stuff! Mary - your fb reminded me that I have not been on in a very long time. I will keep Dan and all those sailors in my prayers.
Yes ladies...exciting news. My sailor and his beautiful girlfriend are going to be married this Saturday at the courthouse downtown. We have planned a small reception afterwards that continues to get larger and larger. LOL. They will also be doing a church wedding this summer. Such fun. Now if I could just find somethng to wear.
After the wedding I think I will finally time to sit down and catch up on the n4m posts I missed. I also hope to be at the packing party on the 14th.

I purchased the Lt. Dan Band, For the Common Good, dvd for my husband for Christmas. We watched it today--hope I'm around in July for the concert. The film is excellent! Our sailor will be home on Thursday, so Christmas really hasn't happened here yet.
