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."

You are correct anotherproudmom. Although I never thought of it that way. Maybe we should make plans to go visit on one of their liberty weekends. I could use some sun and sand. We had a small snow storm last night now it is a sloppy mess out side.

Hi Girls! I to wish I knew when we could go to Cali for graduation but it will all be up for grabs if we all get to go at the same time. My Son was telling me only 4 made it out of the last group. Like I told him just do your best and what a honor to be able to even get there and try. They all may get to have a leave before their actual class starts but thats just hear say. If he keeps spending his money like he has been he want have money to fly home...lol

Happy Belated Mothers Day to all of you. We had a very busy/wonderful weekend. The best part was the call from my son. He sounds good, although he said he was going to the library on Sunday and I am a bit concerned about that.....As he has never spent muchtime at the library, hopefully he does not drop a book on his foot..LOL
