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."

CM, I know about the eyes. I'm not sure I'm still back to normal looking. I just got a call from him. He is now in Pensacola. Should be hearing more often. That's a good feeling.

Judy, I'm glad that Shelly is ok, and that I didn't just miss her. I was looking intensely at the flags for you. Did she pass the gas chamber?

Thanks, Barbie. I noticed that too. I was having my husband take a picture, and he said, are you sure, that's a boy. A girl held the Alaska flag. Could that have been her?

We're back home. It was a wonderful time. Craig just wanted to sit and relax and watch a football game, and find a few things at the mall. He enjoyed eating at Buffalo Wild Wings, and Flanagans and having good coffee. We were in line at 6:30 am on Friday. My husband had taken a trial run from the motel to base, so he knew where to go. The line does get long. It is cold inside when the doors are open, so dress warmly. It was a cold day for us, but fine when the doors were closed. I'm sorry that we couldn't make Flanagans Thursday night, I'm sure it was fun. If you go to the NEX after the ceremony, be prepared for a long line. Make sure that they are back in plenty of time at night. You can only go in so far, and they have to walk the rest of the way. Always have your ID ready to show. Anyone who has someone who needs a wheelchair, just ask when you are cleared from security. That's all I can think of now. It was Great. They wore their dress blues on Friday and the new service uniforms (khaki) on Saturday. That is all determined within their divisions in the mornings.
