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."

Thank you so much! I saw my son in 3 pictures and 2 videos and he looked fantastic! The best gift I could have received!
BarbAnn: Don't try to "click" on anything - that was the mistake I was making! Just go to Nate's Mom's profile page and scroll down to the bottom and they are there!
Shoot i still cant see pics. Will have to check when I get home on my own computer instead of my office computer.
I have to also check the sight and make sure what I have to do to finalize our trip to the base for graduation. Im so excited we get to see my recruit for graduation. Still have to get hotel booked though. Lawdy so much prep to be done yet...
Nevermind! Figured it out!!! Scroll down the page - don't look under the profile pictures! About halfway down you will see the slideshow and click on "View All"!
Thanks!!!
Hello! I found a good article on facebook about our SR's being hosted in Hammond! Played around with it a bit and found the following site... go to nwi.com or nwitimes.com (apparently the same site) and type in "sailors" in the search bar at the top right. Make sure you select "stories" (you'll see what I mean). Scroll down and there are several photos! I didn't see my SR, but maybe some of you will see yours!
Tried to cut and paste the link but for some reason it's not working...
