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."

He just said that another SR in our Division said that somebody in the Division had a wife named Darcie on navyformoms. I think there alot of moms that dont know about this site. I told him to tell all the other guys to tell their moms about it.

Boo! Was hopeful for a letter today since Monday will be a holiday and make the mail all funky again..
I did get my letter sent out to the 062 boys this morning. I wonder what they will think.. Included some comics, sudoku, crosswords, other puzzle games, random weather facts from around the world, wrote them a letter (tried to keep it simple but uplifting). I hope my hub's doesn't get tooo much crap for his wife being weird. :O -
