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."

Brenda Sue... I don't know if I am the Donna you are referring to but , everything hinges on the court outcome tomorrow.
All you praying Tx. moms please pray for the outcome of a court proceeding to determine the custody of my 2 yr. old grandson. I am praying for custody of him as neither of his young parents are able at this point to take care of him. Too long a story for here but please pray, pray, pray.

Your house is going to get REAL quiet REAL fast!!! Also, your grocery bill will cut in half!!! I hope they get in the same division - or at least same PIR week. Your recruiter couldn't ship them on the same day? Even if they shipped on the same day - they could PIR on different weeks!
Start saving now - you don't want to miss that ceremony!!
