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."

Smart kid;-)! I did not realize u guys get temps like AZ, is that normal for u? Absolutely he couldn't be in a better place weather wise as well as things to do and have fun! Hopefully you get there fairly often 2! Wish my daughter would have been stationed there...only 5 hr drive instead of 24...lol! But they appear to go there occasionally so had time with her last month also...go me!
