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."

Good Morning all, I am sure everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving. I hope that everyone has a good one. I know some of us will have a empty place at the table this year. It will be sad but we must stay strong and support our young men and women for making the choice to serve our county. God love them all. Everyone have a great day and share your smiles with someone. It might be the only one they get today.

Good Morning Lynne, I hope you enjoy every minute of those two weeks you have with your son. I know we did. Yes those tears happen without warning sometimes. I just let them pour because the more you tell yourself not to the harder it is to hold them back. And yes this little group is wonderful support. I am so glad I joined. Stay Strong. Have a great day.
