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."

It's hard when they leave for somewhere far off and you know there isn't a possibility of seeing them for a long time...can you imagine what it was like back in the day before skype and computers!?!?!?! Waiting weeks for a letter...I don't know how they did it. My mil raised 4 kids by herself while fil was out on deployments. That doesn't make it any easier on us, though...just know that you arent' alone, Teeny--we all feel that pain!

Lunch never happened maybe after the holidays. Paula Stephen went to Vero High but was raised in the Keys. He will be on leave Easter week. It's been almost a year since I've seen him
