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."

June Bug, (that was the nickname of the girl who was my maid of honor in my wedding - and we are still best friends - almost 30 years ago).

I was wondering - does your husband need glasses to read? How old is he? Has the 50 year blindness hit him? I could read with my contacts in - I just hope that I don't have to start wearing reading glasses!

Eric's wife - 30th of April or May? If it is May, (which I doubt since that is a Sunday) I could!! But. . . April 30th, I am scheduled for Lakik's surgery on my eyes! Anyone had experience with this - I love to hear what you have to say! I am giving this to myself for my 50th birthday (yes, I am OLD)!!

hm - not sure. I think so. So I guess it all depends on the needs of the Navy.
