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."

Well, since I've worn the old fashioned hard (gas permeable) contacts for about 35 years - I was told I had to wait two more weeks for the surgery. It was scheduled for tomorrow - but they moved it to May 7th. We'll see then if my eyes have returned to normal. I don't know what I am going to do if I can't have the surgery before my son's wedding. I sure don't want to be wearing glasses to that!
