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."

Newbie: did your glasses fog up often? because that bugs me to death. Lol!

Tiffany-I would say glasses. Contacts are going to dry up in the cold and wind.

Newbie: Speaking of glasses. I have both glasses and contacts. Lately I have been wearing my glasses almost all the time, but I was thinking of wearing my contact up in GL does that sound like a good idea? I am no also starting to wonder if I should wear my glasses for the plane trip up though. A. they are more comfortable to sleep in. B. we won't get in to GL until late anyways. What is everyone's ideas?

I thought about a dress or skirt till I remembered where I was headed. Jeans it is!!!

Tiffany-We went last Feb to see Wicked and my eyes were watering. I leaned down for a second and a tear feel on my glasses and literally froze on my lens. lol
