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."

Ellen, I just heard that the Enterprise is taking the Vinson's place. I think they do a little "work" together before Vinson heads back. and some people on the Enterprise were on FB too.
Yes, nice picture
Thanks Sheila for yesterday..We had a good time.

Chrissy traffic isn't really bad in that area but I think there are some that are little closer. I'm trying to remember where we stayed. It wasn't far,big room with kitchen, snacks at night. and a breakfast. It's been 3 years so it's hard to think but I will remember.

Hi Valtameri,
Yes he had a delay from 2/1 to 2/7 because of the weahter in Chicago. We got a call about 2am tues morning he got there ok. got his box of clothes on Friday. How sad that was, but we have sending cards and letters like mad, we got the form letter from him today about PIR etc. Do you know if the Radisson is far from the base? It sounds nice, but i don't want to be too far. I think it said 4 miles, but not sure how long that will take, considering traffic etc...His PIR is 4/1
