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."

What a beautiful campus and hospital. They have the whole maternity (3rd floor) with staff to themselves. They offer them one gourmet dinner. Hers is free and his costs $5.00. They were too tired last night and tonight we took him home for a nap.
The staff is great. They have been giving them so much help, classes and instructions. They even re-printed all their instructions in Japanese today. You would think that a royal baby was just born.
You should have seen the look on my sons face when the Commanding Officer walked in to congratulate them and make sure that everything is fine. He is a Colonel and a doctor so he had many questions and asked if they needed anything.
The view is outstanding. As we drove around campus, I noticed that none of the houses had Christmas decorations but many had flags that said "Go Army Beat Navy".
