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."

Hi everyone! Sorry I missed you all at the M&G. Just couldn't make it. Everyone I did meet at Spring Hills and all it was so nice to see the faces behind all you wonderful people. Love the pictures everyone has posted so far. I didn't get home until 1am so I will post mine later. Hated leaving my son can't imagine how the wives on here felt when they said their goodbyes to their sailors.

Kim - great pic and thanks for pointing memejojo out to me. I wish I could of made it to the meet & greet to see everyone in person, but it wasn't meant to be apparently. I'm happy I did get to meet you and the few others I managed to bump into. Hope you had a nice trip home and are recovering nicely from the weekend. =)

Nicole - glad everything went well and nice pic of you and the bf. Sorry I didn't get to meet you in person - we could of done the happy dance together. =)

Tea - sorry we missed you. We didn't get to Midway until 0800 cause we accidentally drove to Wisconsin (GPS co ordinance got messed up) and then had to turn around and back track. I kept my cool, but man that sucked. I wanted more time with her, but everyone else was tired and didn't want to get up any earlier. =(

Mary - That was actually one I purchased for me, so it was okay. =) LOL... You kill me. Flushing his phone down the toilet. That's hilarious. Glad it still works.

Keep them safe and protect them from harm!
