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."

Matt's one year anniversary is tomorrow. He'll be back from his first deployment around the beginning of April.
I think I found this site a week after Matt left for boot camp. I was so excited when I found this. It was a dream come true for me. :)

We are fortunate to have our sailor home with us for the holidays. It is the first time he has been home since leaving for boot camp - 10 months ago!
I know not everyone has their sailors with them this week, we will be lighting a blue candle in their honor. Wishing each of you a Merry Christmas!
