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."

I feel like an old timer, my daughter has been in three and half years. She is an FC with the USS Donald Cook in Virginia.

Thanks for welcoming me. My shoulder surgery went well and my sailor son flew home for the weekend to cheer me up. It was so nice to see his face even if it was for a short time. My ice machine is my best friend right now. I am looking forward to getting the darn sling off in a few weeks and driving again.
