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."

Kat Q sorry to hear of your Husband's loss.Knowing how it really is everyone's loss I am glad the suffering is over. I lost my dad in Dec. Now my father-in-law- is in the end stages of cancer. Such a sad thing to watch. I will lift you, your husband and the whole family in prayer.

LTLY-congrats to your hubby on doing so well in A school. My son is in Pensacola for school and has been since boot camp, and he loves it. His barracks are about a block from the beach and has loved doing his personal PT on the beach. School in Pensacola is certainly not much of a hardship!!

Just a quick note. My husband's brother passed on early this morning. I am so glad he doesn't have to suffer anymore. He is up to his brother's house now waiting for doctor and such to arrive. Please, as you all always do, keep my husband in your prayers. This has been long and tiring for him. Thank you Love ya

@KatQ- Kev's Cshool is Aviation Med Tech. He is excited, mostly I think about the warmer temp in FL!

Nice to hear from you LTLY. Congrats on Kevin graduating with honors. What will his C school be? My son is pharmacy in TX. He also graduates 2/15

Hello everyone, sorry I have been gone for a while. Lots going on, as I am sure with you all. I am so sorry to hear about the loss' and sickness in some of your lives. I will be praying for healing.
Really not much to report from here. Kevin heads to Pensacola soon for C-school, then more sit-n-wait for our first orders! I am excited about all of the possibilities. He graduates with honors from Corps school on the 15th!
Kids are doing great! I sought out a second opinion about my shoulder/collar bone issues and might not have to get surgery after all! Start chiropractic and physical therapy treatments in a couple of weeks and that might be the answer. Only time will tell.
Hope everyone is staying safe with this crazy weather...
