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."

Joanne- been thinking about you. Still here in Merry 'ole England! I have to go back on Monday. Three weeks have flown by. Going into London tomorrow with my older son who lives in Edinburgh now. I have been thinking about you and wondering how things were going. That wedding is coming up fast now!
Cindy- how is your Paul these days?

Jaime- Just so you're not confused, Cori is friends with my son Paul!
are you talking NSA as in National Security? The Naval base in Bethesda is huge. So I think what you are referring to is the same. And Cori is right. Hot and humid from here on out! Wonderful maryland weather. What a difference you have from Illinois to Arizona!

Jaime- we live about 20 min away from Bethesda. Will she be at the Naval Medical Base? Where will she be living? Bethesda has a lot of restaurants and it's a good area. Close to downtown DC by metro. Please let me know what I can do to help her if she needs any contacts.
