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."

In Deep East Tx, its rained 4 days in a row this week and also 2 wks ago. Prior to that, no rain for months. Started planting Jan 15th, and have a row cover cuz frost is expected Sat night. Two years ago, it froze on EASTER!!~!! We covered the tomato plants with tin roofing material and it protected them all right, and it crushed some of them. But by Easter we had all 2 acres planted. Mother nature.....
