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."

SMR - you're welcome lol my dogs are spoiled to the bone. My son is assigned to the naval hospital corpsman. I kept pronouncing it ( CORPS MAN) my son said mom it's pronounced (COR MAN) lol he just left last Wednesday heading back to Yokosuka he's already done 1 year has 1 more to go and then he's trying to go to San Diego. I miss my baby. But he's a grown man now and I know I have to let him go UGH, GULP! I'm so very proud of him though when he came home he hid in another room and he made this funny whistle that he always does, his poor dogs haven't seen him in a year the 2 dogs went crazy. My son made the whistle again the dogs were running around trying to find him . My son came out and the dogs were all over him lol locking kissing him. It was such a site to see how those dogs missed him. Now they're both walking around again crying for my son. Poor dogs.

Sometimes care packages take the scenic route and have adventures. It makes for good stories years later.
