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."

Sent a pkg to my son a little before Christmas but he had never received it. They told me at the PO to wait 21 days then fill out the form they gave. Well, yesterday was day 21 and guess what?? Yep! His pkg came! I told him he probably didn't want to eat the cookies in there but he said they were still soft and yummy! A testament to Ziploc baggies!.

Prayers of comfort and strength to the family of the recruit. Incredibly tragic and sad. Cece, you are absolutely right, never take each day or our blessings for granted. Give thanks always!

tackijacky - thank you! I hate to hear about the death of a recruit and my prayers are with the family. It is just so scary to hear things like that and you don't know who or how or anything. I hope we hear something.

I am so sad to hear about the recruit. I can't imagine what happened. I sure hope we can hear about it when they find out.
Just shows us that we need to live every day to the fullest as if it were our last day on earth. Love, kindness, patience, etc.
