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."

Praying for your dad, you and family.
Just made it to Texas a few hours ago and have internet access again, so hopefully have more time to post through the holidays.
Haven't seen my sailor yet, but hopefully tomorrow!
Hold on tight, safe travels, hugs for you and your sailor.

Things looked promising earlier today. I just spoke to the nurse and Dad's kidneys are having trouble... looks like they are trying to shut down. Prayer warriors please intercede again. By the time we got to the hospital this a.m. his blood pressure was normal, now we need prayers for his kidneys to statr to function properly again.
I am returning to Houston to see Sam and have Christmas with my guys. Please pray God sustains dad through the new year.
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. It means a lot.
