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."

I'm with you on November!!!! Since moving out of SE Texas back in 1995, I cannot handle the heat and humidity anymore. Keep us posted on your plans.....would be fun if we were out there at the same time!!!
Alysia is lucky to live much closer to Tinker than us.

Son told me he started a new course just added to his rate. It will allow him to do the job of another rate as well. It adds 3 months to his training schedule. Susan, he said it would teach him how to do Alex's job, too.
I feel for our kiddos out in OK....it is soooo hot!!

Talked to Ryan last night he finsihed his indoc and now will do TAD (temporary assigned duty) for a short period and then possibly start C School at the end of August.
He said the heat is brutal but almost like home less the humidity.
