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."

At least I know the letters are straggling in. I run to the mailbox everyday just to have the wind taken out of my sails. On a brighter note, reading the posts today that we should get real letters from our kiddos this week is even better, I am counting down Fridays til graduation. I can't wait!!! Feel like a kid at Christmas. LOL!!!
Have you booked your hotel yet? I am staying at the Residence Inn - Waukegan. And, going to the meet and greet by Sarge. Look forward to meeting you!!!
