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."

Hugging you again Donna.
It is the first day of Spring too. I wish you a blessing to come true.
For our first day of Spring - it is raining like cats and dogs
So wonderfully wet.
Here is some fun gossip:
Last night was my oldest coming out Tuperware Party. It was very good party and he was able to get tow parites booked. too from friends - notes -I said friends and not Mom. but a wonderful thing happened.
One of Alex's best freinds was attending and he asked me for Alex's cell number. He wanted to make sure it was correct. So I gave it to him and then for fun dialed it. I was only expectign to hear Alex's voice message and then I planned on leaving a funny message. But to my sur[rize Alex answered ! The place went silient and all were able to talk with him. Nic was happy - wonderful way to start off his party :)
Need to get along - havea good day hugs all and enjoy the pics.
