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."

Oh I forgot to ask about Halloween at your school.
And are you having that special " Dress Up as your Favorite Arthur" day. I hope I spelled that right.

Dear Donna - I so agree with you. Wanted a daughter, but I told the kids - NOT ready to be a Grandma! I so want some time with my hubby.
So you sailor had a chance for Japan. Sorry that did not happen - I think our sons would have met and become good friends. Who knows - if you son re-emlist - it might happen :)
Do take care friend.
Wish you and all here a good day

Beautiful couple - congrats Donna. How does it feel to be an official Mother - in - Law?
Me - I told them I could Official Ride my Broom now.
Oh - he rotates. Sorry, I thought he was like my son - stationed for 3 years in Japan. Still no photo of him re-enlisting .
And thank you Cindy :) Wish all the best to your son.
Have a good day all :)
