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."

Mine is staying in GL. She is a GSE & in one of her letter she said that she was told she would climb rank like mad out at sea because she is a W.I.N.T.R (woman in non-traditional rating). She is looking at being in GL for the entire winter & we are from Louisiana so it is going to be an adjustment for her. She hasn't seen that much snow since we left GL in 1996 (my husband was a C school instructor when we were stationed there)

My daughter has always told me that there is something about talking to me that makes her cry. She says that when she has a problem with anything & she thinks she is handling it pretty good until she talks to me & then she just cries. She knows she's going to do it & I'm the 1st person she comes to with a problem. My daughter-in-law is the same way. I hope she doesn't decide not to call because she is afraid she is going to cry & people will see her.
