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."

Hi, I do come here an make a comment every now and then, but I don't see anyone anymore. How did we do it before, I was on here all the time.
Stephen is out and is happy and working and dating. He lives close to home so I get to see him all the time. I have a daughter leaving for the Peace Corp and is going to Senegal Africa, these kids are going to kill me, lolol I am so proud of both of them. I think of all of you and wonder what the sailors are up too, hope to hear from more of you. Love Debbie

Barb, wow your son is married that is so wonderful. He must love the Navy to re-upped. After Stephen left Italy he was stationed in Norfolk, VA for a while on land and the worked at Great Lakes for a while and got out Nov., 18th. It is amazing to me how much we talked back in the days and now I don't talk to anyone here, times changes and everyone goes to different place, but I am so glad you stopped in and we caught up a little, take care Barb!

Hi Marybeth, sounds like things are going well with James, I am so happy to hear that. Yes two years the time just flies. Stephen is still in Italy and is now a Petty Officer and E4, I am very proud of him and he is very proud of himself and he should be. He should be movng on in April or May, he is putting in for his next base. I bet Washington is beautiful.
I have not been on here in a long time but I still think of all the wonderful friends I made here. Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year!
