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."

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.

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.
