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."

Great pictures! Awesome way to start the day, so many happy faces!
Atsugi. My ET1 and his wife are there. I've been there, it is a nice base, not too big as far as population goes. It is spread out because of the runways.
Those MAc flights out of Seattle are crazy. They take a big commercial limer, rip out the first class and business seats and cram in coach seats. It is filled with all branches of the armed forces, dependent families, DOD contractors, and retirees flying Space A. There are flight attendants, but the flight is no frills and crowded. Crazy.

Hi Thetribemom - My son just left for Yokosuka, Japan this morning from Seattle at 8am. Did you say your son left yesterday or today?
We just got back to Montana from San Diego with his car.
It sounds like everyone is having very busy, eventful lives. Prayers to all who are going through struggles. It seems like they are never ending.
