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."

@ Rowe's Mom-I'm originally from Elmira. There is another Mom who is from Elmira from my son's PIR class. I don't know if she belongs to this group yet, but I'll check.

So fall has really started-fair is over, school started and its 45 degrees!
Hope all that went to the fair had a great time-maybe we can plan a Sunday lunch to get together??
Any suggestions? Will look into that and post some later-have a nice Friday!
