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."

Jamie, Are the pics on your site? Did you get to go? Was he still first in his class? Did he get leave yet? Josh graduated today, honor grad, finally. They messed up everyone's paperwork today, so supposedly no one got leave yet. he should have been home by now, but now won't know until Monday or Tuesday, when he will come home. Send me the pics of Coty's grad, if you can. Can't believe they are on to their next journey. PS, Josh is going to CA.

they have to log in to Mypay and print it out. I have been on my son for a month now to sign up. He said they are only there on Thursday to sign up and usually when he is in school.

Theresa, go to Snopes.com and check out the Red Cross Scam. It's kind of similar.

Theresa, do you have caller ID on your cell. Because I read many months ago, that some group were taking advantage of service member families. You should never give out any info over the phone without verifying who they are. Especially for the safety of our children. If you have the number, you should look on the web for some info. How scarry.

Jamie did Coty order the Keel as well. I didn't get Josh's and he said he ordered it.
