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."

Awesome we are in. One more short trip to Massachusetts for my sisters 60th birthday this week and we are done traveling for a while. My Mom has been asking why we haven't been working for our service men. Bless her heart she can not remember where the bathroom is but she remembers our troops. I will give you a number on pillow cases next week but we should be good for at least 30.

I had a small lull in my schoolwork. So far I have one box ready to go. I just have to write a few cards and seal it up.
