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."

Yep- Merry Christmas :)
Was a busy time . Sailor called and talked over 2 hours - he waiting to open his gifts with us over the phone . Feels closer that way and we are able to hear each others joy and surprize. Then he had to tell us to expect more packages - just couldn't get all the stuff on one package. he is wanting the pet turtle to get her present. As soon as it gets here - i'll share
Then Nic and Tessa were with us today. WE pigged out. No dieting! They brought over a a puzzle from the the movie of Christmas Story. It was that Leg Lamp. It took three hours to do. I am still seeing puzzle pieces - just 500.
I'm beat. Promise to share more gossip later.
Hey - anyone going shopping tomorrow? I have only done that twice But not sure if I am brave amnought to do that again. SO mnany people! I think more go out shopping after Christmas than before !
Sweet Dreams
