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."

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are sad that our son is deployed this year, but we feel secure in knowing that our guys are patrolling the waters helping keep "Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men" !
Welcome, new moms! This is our 7th Christmas serving our great country! :)

Congratulations Navymom 12592. Your buttons must be busting.
We are going to Adopt-Our-Sailor for Christmas and than come back two weeks later for PIR, hopefully, baring no set backs. I told him the set backs are just setups for being propelled into his bright future. Which sounds like is what happened for your Sailor. God bless you. Dale

had tears today when in Sunday School the teacher said to pray for each other as some of us would have a different Christmas this year. I started crying a little as it really hit me my youngest would not be here for the first time. But I know he is good and so adaptable. We will have many holidays to catch up on and will do it Big!! Miss that boy!!!

My Sailor graduated yesterday and is already off to A School in Pensacola. We got to spend 8 hours with him before having to have him back on base. He proposed to his girlfriend on the Drill Deck in the Graduation Hall. Was truly an "Officer and a Gentleman" moment. He said he's not nervous about his time away and is excited about the future. I believe he was really nervous and was very homesick for a few weeks. After having to be set back a couple weeks, he took some very good classes that helped him get his heart and head lined up. He got his butt into gear and was a gentleman yesterday. He carried himself with pride. You could tell that the US Navy drilled some maturity into him. BRAVO ZULU!!!!!
