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 Ruth, I sure am sorry not to meet you at this trip. Pass on your e-mail and I will make sure to take short videos and pics to send you. I am so happy that all your SR's are Sailors. Kathy: NO phones calls tonight. HAPPY THOUGHTS I'm in the car, but we are continuing to pray for your SR. God will see him through on his journey tonight.

Pmbell: I grew up just north of Dallas, but my husband drug me to Atlanta Tx. It's about 30 miles outside TeXarkana. We haven't had rain but 1 time this summer. We have horses and if it weren't for underground springs, we would have to have hay hauled In like everyone else. The ground looks scorched. My Sailor planted a tree. For me before he left. I'm trying to keep it going. We have some 100 ft trees that are dying.
