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."

My son told me early on they were putting together a list of facebook contact information. I think with technology that will the best way to stay in touch with all the moving around they will be doing. I hope they stay in contact, especially the ones he really got along with.

That's also a good idea to make the facebook list. Just know that sometimes there are oodles of people one has to search through because so many have the same names and if no pic there it is harder/more time consuming to search. Doing both sounds like a good idea.

I'll be at the ready tomorrow for trivia!! ... But, on the road headed towards Illinois on Wednesday. Hopefully 349 will get a glimpse of our boys! We should really get in touch with Stoner (who won the past two weeks in a row) to see what tips she can offer. OR .... maybe we could all chip in a few bucks and pay her to win for us! LOL
