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."

Going to San Diego to see my son in 5 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! Yea!!!! Can't wait!!! I sure miss talking to everybody and keeping up with what's going on. Since my son is totally secluded from everyone he used to know I feel out of the loop! I have been really busy. I joined a group called "A Soldier's Angel" and adopted a soldier in Iraq and I joined their card team. I also started a project called Socks & Sweets for Soldiers. Can you believe it-the two top things on deployed soldiers wish list-new socks and homemade sweets. I am just trying to do my part and keep busy while we wait on my son's next orders. Sure would love to hear from you guys!!! Love and Hugs to All! Pam
