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."

Annie I love it here, I do go on facebook but I do not like it as much. Here we are all IT's and have a lot in common. I also go to the Naples site there are only 5 of us, but it is good to have someone to talk with where all the sailors are in the same place we can compare notes.lol Hope you stay, I come here all the time as you can see.lol If you need any help with skype let me know it is the best.

Our webcam is a Logitech 1.3 megapixel it cost around $50, it works real well. You just plug it in the back of your computer and attach it on top of the computer screen and away you go. Hope this helps.

Hello Jill, has Jesse got his written orders yet? I would love for him to meet Stephen is he is still going to Italy. Skype it is real ez, if I can do it so can you.LOL You just go to www.skype.com and it will give you directions how to down load it. You will need a password and a name to have people contact you and you then can call them. Once you get it we could try it out. We bought a web cam with a microphone in it, Stephen has that in his lap top already. Jill once you use it you will not be able to live without it and the best part is it is FREE!!!! If you have any other questions just ask and I will do the best I can to help you. Once you get skype I will give you my name and we will try it out. Even once you download it we can talk just like this using skype you do not need a webcam or microphone it is just more fun that way and we get to see our boys.

Talked with Stephen for 35 minutes yesterday, he was using a friends computer, it was so great to see him, it was very late. Well I cannot believe it he must of said 4 or 5 times how great it was to talk with us and he really missed us, I have heard that before but you know this time I think he really means it.lol Hope everyone is fine and have a great day.

Hi Pam, I have missed you. Dre is going to turn into a hot pocket.lol I hope he gets his box, I mailed Stephen a letter and it took 11 days, I was told at the post office his box would take 10 days so he should get it next Wed the 17th. Stephen does not know anyone with a car either so he goes no where but he has been to Rome and loved it. Pam he is mailing his computer home this Friday to be fixed. Where you out of town having fun??? I hope so! Talk with you soon. I heard they do have a kitchen they can cook in but you have to clean up after yourself, well there you go they will not be doing any cooking for themselves.lol take care Pam
Hi Ladies, how is everyone else!
