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."

Well Ladies it has been 8 weeks since we started this journey with our sailors. What a transition it has been for all of us. My husband and I had a conversation of over 1 hr the other day with our son. He sounded wonderful! Our son will be going on to Washington DC from Great Lakes to be part of the Ceremonial Guard there. We couldn't be prouder of this accomplishment for him. We look forward to seeing him and celebrating with him his accomplishment this Friday in Great Lakes. As I type this I am packing and looking at all the Meet and Greets going on while we are there. I hope to meet you at some of them. To all of you attending I wish you safe travels, if you are someone on here who can't attend and would like for me to try to pass a message to your son/daughter let me know, I would be more than happy to try to do that for you.
See you soon..............

Hello everyone and congrats to you all and your new Sailors, My daughter has PIR on April 27th, but she performed in the Sate Flag presentation for your PIR, she will also be in the one next Friday. Thanks to Teacher Mom I did get to see my daughter perform. If any of you have photos that you would not mind sharing it would be so much appreciated. I miss her so much and the 27th cant get here fast enough. Please tell all your Sailors I said THANKS for their service.
