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."

Back from NY - we had a wonderful visit with our Sailor. It was a quick trip but we made the most of it! Weather was great - a little chilly for me but no rain or snow so that was good LOL. Got to meet a number of other sailors so I made sure to get and give extra hugs!
Here's us at the park.
Here is hubby, sailor, my mom and me.
Here's sailor with his Easter basket (at our hotel).
Have a good weekend!

GMA - it's ok to give out ship names - just don't give their location (when they are out) or dates of where they are going. If they have already been it's ok to give out the dates! Always good to keep OPSEC in mind!
Happy Birthday to your grandson!
