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 enjoying every minute with my son!!
All of his friends want to talk to him,everybody is calling home.
Today we are going to his uncle's house for a family reunion;the aunt is making another of his favorites,spaguetti.
I already cooked for him rice and red beans with fried plantains and chicken.
Have a nice day!!

nancynavymom: I hear ya! My sons verbal orders came last Fri. He graduated the Wed before. Is that when your son graduated? Is he a YN? Talked to my son last night and he said he keeps checking on line for orders, but so far, he is still listed out of Great Lakes. He said once it shows Norfolk, then he has his written and will be ready to GO!
