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! We are in Brazoria and my son is in BC now. I’m sure he is miserable with all the snow he’s probably shoveling,he got over the Texas Snow miracle we had here before he left pretty darn quick.

Hi all. I’m in West Columbia which is about 40 minutes from Pearland. A small town. My son is currently home for Christmas (yay!) but is going through A school in Great Lakes and will be headed to Virginia Beach area in March. Happy New Year!

Hi Ladies, So sorry for all those who were flooded, and thankful the rest of you who didn't. We do not have a contractor yet. Four dogs in the house (including my recruit's 2 which I vowed to watch over). Oh what fun! Currently one gift under the tree - lol - trying to get out the door today to do a little shopping. My boys are all very understanding. Whether 4 inches or 4 feet of water -- floors, walls and cabinets have to come out. But, honestly, feeling very blessed. God is so very good. This is the season of perpetual hope! Super proud of my young men, thankful for my family and the roof over my head. Watching Miracle on 34th Street and White Christmas helps :) A call from my boy would be the best Christmas gift. Merry Christmas to all!!

Im in Katy, Texas and my sailor finished boot camp 11/22. He’s in A school in Great Lakes right now. And yes Harvey was a bad boy. I didn’t get any flooding but all around me I did. A lot of people lost everything and they are still trying to get it all back together. My son will be coming home for Christmas and then he goes off to Virginia for about a year. I’m glad to hear from you Texas moms. I hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We did not flood but some of the people in our neighborhood did. We live around Lake Houston. I am sorry to hear that you guys flooded. Are you fixed up yet or do you still have some repairs to do?
