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."

We have had lots of snow and ice here in the Tri Cities. Brrrrrrr. Soooooo cold! It has been beautiful, though. It was a beautiful white Christmas. My Navy son and his Navy fiance got married a few days before Christmas while they were both on leave. They will initially have a long distance marriage....sigh, she in Norfolk and he in PCola.
Looking for warmer temps this weekend....gotta say goodbye to Dollywood for the winter on Saturday!

Chase had his PIR this past weekend. It was so good to see him and amazing how much he matured in 8 weeks! He is in Monterey, arrived yesterday for DLI. He is going to be there for 2 years. He is 19, we always hoped he would choose a life in the military. He graduated from high school at 17 and did 2 semesters at a community college. He failed miserably and hated it! Initially he wanted to go the USAF, but was persuaded by his dad who is a former SeaBee to go to the Navy. He seems happy with his decision, but is disappointed he won't be on a ship with his job. He can do sub duty, but isn't sure that he wants to volunteer for that!
We have a 15 yo and a 6 yo who plan on going in as well. Well, the 15yo does, the 6 yo just wants to keep up with everybody else!
