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."

I'm a little worried about tomorrow and keeping this baby still!!! She is just so wired with all the traveling and different places we've been over the last two days. Oh well, Jamie really wants to see her!! He called with the "I'm officially a Sailor" call right when we were checking in. He was sick all night and running a fever, but he passed!! So happy for him. I remember you introducing yourself jgoody and wanted to talk to you to, but we had to go.
Sleep well everyone, tomorrow we finally get to see our "Sailors!" And I am going to CRY!!! Happy tears though!!

Jamie'sMom, your daughter is adorable; I tried to find you after the introductions but lost you somehow. Pretty much how it happened with most of you. But it was a very nice gathering.
