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."

My best wishes to all. Thank you for the love and support.

Waiting for DS and fiancé and older son and wife to wake up and open gifts. Having them home is my gift . . . and the best one ever.

May each of you have a very Merry Christmas!  Thanks for all the support and friendship you have given this year.

It is great news that so many are home for Christmas!  Let's see some pictures.

Loved your picture Suzie, it brought tears to my eyes.  So proud of all of our sons and daughters and feeling blessed this Christmas surrounded by all of mine.  Merry Christmas Moms and James!

Great news that so many have their loved ones with them for the holidays. I am one of the lucky ones also. DS and fiance here from Whidbey and other son and wife on way from Southern California. What a great Christmas present.

Congrats Suzie - our son just moved to NAS Oceana from Kingsville; he is thrilled to be back on the east coast.  Maybe now they'll finally meet!

Happy holidays to everyone!

Suzie....Your Dad must had been so proud, along with you two!  It just a blessing that your dad could join you for the winging.

Looking forward to seeing you projects.

Comment by CheriH on December 19, 2013 at 9:01am

Congrats Suzie...I got tears in my eyes reading your post.  Knowing all the work that he put in to get to winging and all the prayers that went into it on your part!  Have a marvelous time with him home!  Love the picture and the note about his granddad.  

Comment by Barb on December 19, 2013 at 8:37am
Suzie,
Congratulations! So happy for all of you. That is a great family photo too, wow! Enjoy the holidays, everyone.
Comment by Marianne on December 19, 2013 at 2:30am

Suzie: Congratulations!  I'm glad that your DS's winging went off as planned. How very special for him and your father, too.

To all: Have a blessed holiday season. For those of you whose children will be home, enjoy every minute. For the rest, may you at least get a chance to talk over the holidays. My DS is travelling in China right now, but we've had two chances to talk since thy got back from cruise and it makes all the difference in the world.

May 2014 bring you and your families peace, happiness and good health.

Is there anyone who can pick a Marine up from Meridian Naval Airstation on Dec 23rd and get him to the airport? He is trying to get home and I am going up on the 20th and 22nd. typical cab fare from the base to the airport is $500.00 or more (!) can you believe that! Anyway, If you live withing a comfortable driving distance let me know. I could use some help in helping these guys and gals get home for Christmas. I live down in South Alabama close to PNAS

Thanks!
