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 ladies! Glad that everyone's sailors are moving along in their Navy careers. Sounds like all of ours will end up at the same place within a few months. This will be Matt's first deployment and he has been in for 2 1/2 years. In school practically the entire time.
He is engaged to a very nice young lady from WA. They are planning on a fall wedding here in Texas (woo-hoo). She is going to come stay with us while he is deployed so that we can work on wedding plans. This is going to be fun since I have 3 sons and the groom's mom usually doesn't get the chance to be overly involved in the planning but this time I will since it is going to be at our house. She is so sweet and has invited me to come to WA to go with her and the bridesmaids to shop for a wedding dress.

Thanks Terri, he said he had a pretty good day, better than Christmas was for us. He said he will be heading to Misawa to catch up with VP1 in a week or two. When I asked him if he was excited he said kinda sorta, now all of the schooling and training is formally done and he finally enters the real world of the Navy, and the work. lol

Happy Birthday Sailor :)

My sailor graduates C school on Thursday, then he will find out if he is going overseas to catch up with VP1. He likes Whidbey but says he is getting sick of the cold, he will probably move to another barracks since he is in C school barracks now. Today he is 19, first birthday away from home, but he sounds like he is doing well.
