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."

Lynne, thanks for cheering us on over in 10/1.... I am getting ready to fly out and go to Chicago... to all of you moms HANG IN THERE!! It gets better and it really does seem to go fast, really! :) :)
My daughters boyfriend is in Ship 7 Div 355 and he will PIR with you guys, he was more nervous than I think she was when he left! They are 4 weeks apart but will both be in A school together, eventually LOL I wish I could afford to fly up to see him grad too, but I can't but his parents and family will be able too!! I hope I come back with lots of great stories... OH I did ask her if she has seen him yet and all she said was she thinks she saw his division marching one day, that was it!!! :(
Yall have a good day and if you ever need to ask any questions, I'm no expert, but I can try!! :)

Lynn, you're an amazing and strong woman, like my wife. I admire the fact that you get a good feeling of pleasure seeing the happiness in all of us. whether it be fathers from daughters, mothers from sons, husbands from wives [which is my particular case] or wives from husbands. I truly can't wait to meet you for PIR. Let it be known that you'll get a special gift from me for your amazing love and support to all of us. send my best to your family. positive vibes and God Bless
