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."

Hi Everyone:
Hope that you all had a great family holiday for Thanksgiving. Wanted to stop by for a second - our sailor made E6. Will be 'official' January 1st. We were without power for six and a half days. That was a nasty introduction to what this winter may be. We had to cancell church at all three locations (North San Juan, Downieville and Sierra City). Now power and too much ice. This Sunday was better - all had power. The drive from Downieville to Sierra City was beautiful.
The sailor is excited with making E6. It was eight years on the 13th of this month. My how the time has gone.Thank care. My angel blessings to all of you ~S~

Thanks - I'm a real newb - no military in my background, all new experience. Good to know there are others nearby having similar experiences...:)

Hi nvmomma, at Boot Camp everyone's experience is pretty much the same so no worries! I have family in Citrus Heights and I live in Sac.

Anyone else live in or near Citrus Heights?

PS I hope the previous wasn't TMI. I know I am going to have trouble watching how much info I give out about my sailor...
