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."

christmas 2006 sorry that u r having such a hard time. i am taken the savella and tramadol it is working great i am also having hormones implants done i had a hyserctomy about 20 yrs ago and i seen this commercial on tv with all these symptoms that we have with fibro, so i made myself an appt and had abunch of blood work done. i did not have enought estrogen and no testerone at all in my body a day after the implants i felt like i did before i got fibro and i can tell when it is time for more because i start hurting. all my doctors have told me dont just sit around when u r hurting you need to move and it will help the pain, if your doc want listen to u find a doc that will listen to u, u r the only one that knows what your body feels like. the hormones also helped my headaches also i was having them alot sine i did the hormones i think i have had only 1. i sure hope u feel better soon. right now i have strep throat i have to get better soon i am goin to va to see my sailor the end of the week
