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."

I'm in Fort Worth, TX
I am originallly from Galveston, TX

but am originally from a small town near Galveston, TX
His#1Fan... Hi my name is Abby! I live in Katy and my husband just left on Monday! We should get together and talk sometime! I'd love to get to know you!

Abby
I live in the Spring/ Woodlands area.
LTLY, I am in Weatherford, Texas. Ended up here 17 years ago because this is where other half is from. Grew up between Baltimore and Annapolis, MD. I didn't know we were so close. I come into the JRB to bowl every week. My son is in Ship13 Division 326. Maybe we could plan to meet some afternoon.
We are close!! I would like to meet up!
I need to mend these sick kids but plan to go there to see what the commisary is like.
It is very nice and the BX has layaway!!! I think I remember it is for 2 months only but that is all the time I needed to pay on my new vacuum. Not having to pay tax is another good thing. Also, the clothes, especially for kids, is different from what you might find at the Walmart. If you need directions to find anything, let me know.
Elaine... I grew up in Annapolis. My sister lives in Crofton. I now live in Spring,Tx. Where is Weatherford?
I grew up right across from the Harundale mall. I walked to school in elementary and high school, in ten feet of snow and up hill both ways, and rode a bus to junior high. You remember Maryland winters don't you? Weatherford is about 25 miles west of Fort Worth. It was a small town when we moved here 17 years ago but is growing fast.
My dad said they had more snow this past year than he's ever remembered. Every time he turned around it was snowing again. He is a heating and air cond. man still in his late 70's. They are also having a record heat year. We Txans know about heat though. Have a great day.
I'm originally from Texas, live in Arkansas now, but always a Texan!--son shipped from Texas.
Hey txlovemom, I live in Arkansas too! Where do you live???? I live close to Fordyce. I was born in Houston and raised in Victoria. When did your son leave for bc. Mine left on the 10th. Hope you had a great day!
