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."

Congratulations Nina!
My son is leaving today to Groton. I'm already crying like crazy, I don't know which one is harder!!!!! I miss him so much already even that I know (hope) is going to be easier because he have his cell and laptop but still.....I have a wonderful time having him at home. No enough time to do all his favorite food but.....Just looking at him so skinny, tall, so different but at the same time my baby. Don't matter what they said they still our babies!!!
Cricket....how you find out? Stinks but a least I hope our sailor get the money back!!!
My prayers to all of the sailor going back to the A schools. Weather still bad for some areas.
Everyone have a wonderful day!!!
