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."

Leaving on July 8th

My son is leaving on July 8th. I'm a mess of emotions. I try to keep them hidden from him but it's hard. I hug him every chance I get and tell him how proud I am of him. I got married and had him at 19, so I've never really been an adult without him. I hate feeling so sad when I know he's doing such a fantastic thing. I don't know how I'm going to let him go. So many different emotions and I'm having a hard time coping. :'(

I live in Green Bay, WI.  (Go Pack Go!) It seems mail and other things take a long time to get to this north area.  We moved here 9 years ago.  Can't believe how slow mail is.  God is teaching me patience. :)
