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."

You are so welcome. This site has been so helpful for me...we had our son really clean and organize his room. His younger brothers lie in his bed and read...or we write letters in there. We are to celebrate with you!! I know it isn't the same as your hubby, but nonetheless, we are your navy family now. Cannot wait to meet you! We will be driving from Baton Rouge with our two sons. Our SR said the "the food is ok, Cajun spice to the Navy is about as spicy as a carrot"! Silly kid!
