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."

Denise- that's wonderful news about your daughter! My son is hoping to get on a DDG as well. But he's ET.
You must have gotten more snow than us- we had a light dusting yesterday which the wind has blown away today.

HI to all, I just returned for PIR 12/17/10. My son just graduated. There was a Salior there from Hagerstown, Md that received an award. How gret to have someone so close to be honored. Thought I would share with all of you. I live in Cumberland.

No i am NOT enjoying this weather Joanne! I have to work! And if it wasn't for that it would be a great day to stay in and do some Christmas decorating!
It is raining more than cats and dogs at this point- all of God's creatures are involved!

Angie- I would love to include your son at our rather lively Thanksgiving. We don't live very far from Bethesda. Our son is being taken in at a family's home in GL so I would love to bless another sailor with a home to be in. Add me as a friend and we can talk.
