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."

Hello everyone... Tammy & I know each other and our boys ended up leaving at the same time. It's funny, we live about 10 miles or so from one another and the boys didn't know each other as they went to different high schools. Our son wasn't suppose to leave until June but the recruiter called and said it's time to go. It gave us about 5 days to get everything together. But as fate would have it, two local boys met and off they went! Both riding high and livin the dream!
