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."

Yes, and I love it. You can go to the beach or the mountains or Catalina Island. I think Mexico is off limits for sailors, but we used to go to Ensenada for lunch. You will make lots of good memories.

KLP let us know when he does battle stations and I'll light my blue candle in honor of your night of what will seem equivalent to child birth. You're going to love San Diego. My sailor already signed up for 2 more years just for the promise of more training there:) Poor thing has to spend the winter there;)

KLP - It will all be worth it when you see him in that uniform in GL. Have a safe trip, enjoy every single moment, and, bring tissues!
