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."

Morning gcmb! :)
Arm warmers?? Would that be a jacket or sweater? hahaha I've been wanting to buy some rain boots for forever!! and Tiff would always roll her eyes when I would look at the.... I feel now that I'm liberated in going shopping! I can buy what I want and not ask permission of the 21 (girl) and Tiff... I did have her brother with me last week at walmart and asked him about a shirt I was looking at... he curled his nose up and said "Are you done yet?" hahaha

Happy Sunday!
Along with prayers for our SR's and their RDC's, I would like to add prayers for our fellow N4M's. That we may have emotional endurance for these days leading up to PIR.
Have a great day everyone!
