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."

Yes, I would like to get together. I don't know how I missed this invitation. I had the flu and missed a few days of checking in. I guess that's how it happened. Let me know. I will be going to Jacksonville for Stephen's winging in May.

Marcy--it's easier for me to get to Fairview Heights, and that is always an option. We are also trying to get a group together down by Mt. Vernon so our "southern" friends can meet each other. I'll be sure you are on my friends list, too.
