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."

Sorry I have not been on much - been ill. So glad that no one can catch anything over the computer!
So glad your visit with your daughter was wonderful. Sorry - know that feeling of when they leave - hugs. Have been listening to the unusual weather this year. My Aunt and Uncle in TN is having more snow that us! Do be careful and stay warm
Sharing some news- my sailor was able to go to BeJing China for his Christmas leave. It was a once in life time opportunity and we told him to take it. So please enjoy a few of the pictures he took :)
