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."

Next week would give me a chance to get some items to pack, as I currently have nothing on hand. Tonight I have to get the lawn mowed---I should have done it last night, but I got so caught up watching the news about the tornadoes in OK.

Jennifer I am in Middleburg and also belong to MAS but I am unavailable next weekend also as I work the weekends now. Do you have stuff already to put in the boxes? If you need boxes I am a bunch from the last packing party. I also have the forms you need if you want them. I can help this coming wed if you need anything.

I'm in the area, not exactly Jax. I can't do next week-end. When do you think the next one will be? Are they going to be on a regular basis? I live by the calendar and it fills pretty quick. ;-) Thanks for hosting this packing party. Every Sailor in the Unit will appreciate it.

I am not a new member, but have not been posting here lately. I am in Jacksonville--my son is stationed in Norfolk for the last 2 years and is assigned to the Enterprise. They just got back from an 8 month deployment and it is SO good to be able to call him and hear his voice!
My other son is AF and is all over the place right now, training. But all my kids will be home for Christmas this year, so I am gearing up for that! Can't wait...
