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."

LOL I do not want to hear that Carrie, LOL Well good for you! Talked to Stephen today, he says the weather is terrible, rainning and it was hailing and it snowed, he is wearing his heavy coat, it must be cold he never wears his heavy coat. Even tho it is $12.50 it does get costly sending boxes after boxes I don't send as many as I use too, but I am sending one Monday, his birthday is coming up and I want it to be on time. Enjoy the rest of you weekend.
Hi Robin and Sharon!

LOL - I kind of thought the CO was just checking to see if he actually existed! He was only in Naples for a month and hadn't even started his actual job when he got deployed! I could see him going down some list and thinking "who's the heck is this?" Maybe not, I know his Chief went with him and they were the only 2 from Naples to be deployed so who knows? Guess we'll find out soon enough huh?

Hi y'all! Any of you dealing with the winter storms? We are having a miserable day here, cold and raining! But, can't really complain when I look at what the rest of the east coast is having! Not much new to report, Devin says things have slowed down a great deal on the Comfort and he is hoping to get back to Naples soon. He got an e-mail from his CO yesterday checking in and seeing how he was doing so that made him happy! This board is so nice to check in on, I can catch up in a flash! I'm on the corpsman mom board and seriously, I can check my e-mail at night before I head to bed and in the morning I have 150 new e-mails! They are a great group though, just takes forever to catch up! LOL

Yes thanks I did know that, but that price when up since last year, boy that made me mad, it should be 50% OFF sending to our military. ok Carrie, I know our flight is around 8/9 hours. I think that is nice you send cards to Justin I bet he will love it. I have to stop sending boxes to Stephen it is costing me a small fee. LOL Next package will be his family. And that is costing!!! Girls are more fun to send cards too, I send to Stephen, but I think my daughter likes them better. I have tons too Robin, I found some military ones at Hallmark and theyare really good. I heard about the snow, LOL that is so funny to me, we got a foot and still moving on. LOL
