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."

My Sailor enjoys being an MA most of the time--it's like that with every career, I suppose. He is now in his second country. He has extended his time in his current country to go through August 2012--it sounded like he had to since he had made the decision that he will not reenlist and he would need additional training for the other places he wanted and that would not be cost effective for the Navy. He has seen and done some interesting things--many he can't even tell me about, but I'm sure one day I'll hear a little about them. Now I know that if he disappears from fB and especially Skype, that he is doing something more interesting than usual and to up the prayers for him. His phone is through Skype and his command contacts him through it at times so it is pretty much always signed in. I do not post where he currently is, although he has it posted on his fB, nor do I ever give his first name.

I saw. OPSEC has to become a habbit, not a second thought and now is the last time you have to practice--after A School, it is for real.

I spent a lot of time in Mn., in the summer whe I was a kid..ions ago.. And I remember the days being very hot but the nights being rather chilly, maybe it was a lake effect thing.

Yes we are from Minnesota and have the heat and humidity also. Good thing PT for them is at 5am. Running 3 miles is hard enough, but deadly in 102 temps. It has been beautiful here in Minnesota the last few days in the upper 70's lower 80's no humidity. I don't tell my sailor that :)
