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."

Hi everybody just catching up on all of the posts. My little guy had eye surgery today so I haven't been very faithful the last couple of days checking in. Anyway, that all went well. Now, got a letter from my son today and it looks like one more intense week before battlestations. jhenderson I would appreciate 6 ribbons also and I will order my pins right now. The twins picked out their own design. Too funny I had them in here separately and they picked the same one, always an amazement to me. Keeps me busy and my mind not solely on their older brother. I hope everyone has a great night. Just counting the days!!

oh yeah i think we are staying there too, that will be great. call my cell as soon as you get their and i will meet you with your ribbons.

We're staying at the Days Inn on Hwy 41. When we made the reservation, we requested a shuttle to RTC on Friday. Everything we've read tells us we don't want to try to get a car on base. Now...we don't even know if the Days Inn offers a shuttle, but if they do we're on record for requesting one. If they don't we'll cab over to RTC. I think it's a couple of miles from the Days in to RTC. My husband is going to call Days Inn today; I'll f/u tonight.
