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."

Glad to be home in GA, but it was a fantabulous weekend in Great Lakes! Some of the greatest moments came hanging out with him and his fellow sailors for 8 hrs. at Midway airport. It was amazing that we beat them to the airport and were there waiting and watching their faces light up as they came in realizing family was already there. My sailor loves Pensacola and was moved up to AT so he will be there for a year! Promise to post pics and more later, but it was so nice meeting my n4m'ers and to the few I didn't get to meet I am so sorry and trust that you were in my thoughts and I was looking for you! It was just wild after liberty call and we all wanted our sailor time, but know that we are proud of all your new sailors!

So today is my daughter's Bday. I'm hoping to get a call from her. She got a new cell phone and she said she'd be calling us today. Wednesday she's getting a new laptop so we can start emailing and Skyping. I need to get a camera installed on my computer. My wonderful hubby said he'd get me all set up. I posted a couple of the photo's and will try to get the rest on either my main page or somewhere else so you all can see if I got a shot of your sailor.
Hope everyone had an amazing time. I certainly did. =)
