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."

Yeah me either!!! Lol,
Does anyone know about the marina/campground there and if dogs are permitted or not? O have sent an email to them to find.out but haven't heard anything yet, And I know some of you have been through this before. Any info will help.....

Glad I wasn't the only one doing the purse thing.  It sat on my nightstand beside me during the night and then I put it in my purse when I went out today.  Are we pitiful or what?  LOL  I still haven't read the letter,,,just the part he actually wrote.  And mine was extremely neat also.  They are growing up and changing already. 

First thing I did was copy it on my computer and hung one copy  on the frig and another on my vanity. :)  And I too have yet to read the entire letter with the information about graduation.

 

 

You are too smart but I am headed to the copier right now!!!!

Lol
I confess, I have read the whole thing about graduation and all, started looking things up to make my plans....... We will be driving from NY, so need to iron things out.... But great idea, would be easier to copy then carrying it around...... Thanks you all keep me sane!!!!!

I have read the whole thing and I find myself re-reading his letter.  I guess I think I might have missed something.  I like the copy idea, I will definitely do that so I can have one with me all the time.

where in NY??  i am from about 60 miles south of buffalo and we will also be driving

Albany area.... We have family in old orchard area. You are about 5hrs ahead of me!!! Lol

lol yes, we are quite a bit closer than you :-)  you will have quite a drive!

Yeah but we are so excited to see him, California wouldn't be to far!!!Lol. I'm sure we all feel the same... :)

Okay...I'm totally frustrated.  There are too many hotels and too many various reviews.  I'm terrified to pick a hotel sight unseen and have it be unacceptable.  I know I'm posting where you are all in the same boat I am, but I just had to blow off steam!!!
