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 stayed from Thursday till Monday and it was a two bedroom two bathroom suite with a living room kitchen and fireplace... LOVED IT Rick curled up on that sofa in front of that fireplace a couple of times and slept. It was slightly pricey but his comfort was well worth it.

Yeah traveling alone I just didn't want to be carrying that much cash. It wasn't a huge deal... but if Rick were our only income it would have been.
Shooooooot planned out LOL heck no I'm flying by the seat of my pants for the first time in my life! But as long as I have a pilot like Rick I think I'm in good hands ;-) don't mind the passenger seat so much.

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on March 4, 2010 at 4:58pm
You mean you didn't take the snowchild home to Texas? LOL
Is that like child abuse? random thought... over look me! whew

Sent Rick's cell and MP3 out today cost me $8 and it should be there Saturday.
Probably go down there in the next 2 weeks and just take him the rest of the things he wants. Found a little cottage on the beach I might rent... right on the water!!! 750 a month!!! CHEAP!!!! ~ and they're pet friendly!!!!!!!!!! There are also a couple places right close to the base I would like to look at... so anyway, lots to do lots to do! one of my friends works for Kennesaw University and is being laid off for the summer she says she might come waitress and split the rent with me... That would be awesome! So when you guys get ready to come see your sons LOL bring your own cooler... we'll be in our chairs on the beach soaking up the sun =)

LOL that snowman was so much fun, although I didnt get to help build it because of my surgery, it was fun watching them have the traditional snowball fight that goes along with building the snowman. I had been teasing the kids about making my grandbabies, so they also made a tiny snowman and told me that was my grandchild. They let him melt in the bathtub.... guess they arent ready for kids lol.
