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."

Hi All :)
My sailor is back on his base. He had a good time home and oh did I collect hugs. Funny - he did too :) .Was able to receive a pass for hubby and I to sit with him at teh gate as he waiting to leave - that was special Now trying to get back to a normal routine, but finding it somewhat difficult. so now eating an entire bag of Orea Doulbe Stuff Cookies with milk. Helps alittle with that " Missing My Sailor Blues " But not my hips. Oh well.
Need to get off - second stage of thunderstorm about to pass through.
Share more later Hugs All
