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."

Oh, forgot the rest of my post....lol...
I started my Navy scrapbook last night. I have 2 pages done. Of course it helps that the kit I bought from KandCompany has some printed pages and you pretty much just stick your photo down and you are done....

It's okay, When Nathan and Loran were home last weekend for Amber's funeral I checked the uniforms out very closely. I just didn't want to open that can of worms again lol. They should be blue in my opinion but I don't count lol I am just the MOM.

Okay, I thought I would share some pics of the things I have been making for my Sailors Scrapbook. I am now making these available to my friends on N4M's so send me a message if you would like more info. I will have the sailors dressed in Digicams in a few days. I am so excited about these. I can't wait for my paper to come in. :-)
