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."

Ok i got to ask Jackie, how was the price? and it over looked water? ohhh i would like that for sure. Gabbyhat safe travels to your daughter and i hope you got to finish up your shopping. I'm on my way in the morning for those who are here but for Dune i have until April when we go down. He said not to mail anything that we will celebrate when we are all together. Now that is hard for me to do so i will mail a few things his way anyway. He will act all mad but i'm sure he will be smiling. Take care and enjoy your start to the week Everyone.
