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."

Another Navy Mom and I will be taking a trip to the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park on September 21st. We'd love to have you join us! We will be meeting at 1 pm. If we get 10 or more people, it's $3 cheaper per person. Let me know if you plan to come so we will be sure to wait for you all! This was originally supposed to be a family get together before my younger son left for BC, but now he's leaving Tuesday. So my plan is to take pictures & send them to him in a letter. I hope you can join us!

Not sure of accuracy but Sailor thinks he is going to travel to ship on East Coast...hoping that is true so I can go visit him.
I missed him but being able to Skype with him is a Godsend. Good night ladies, be at peace!
