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."

I didn't see any roses with Daniel and Kate. They were about 30 seconds in and the newscaster said 18 mo Leah...that was them. I am glad it worked.

THANK YOU ALL for sharing the pictures and video from NBC. I talked to my son for a quick minute yesterday. So glad he is home. Waiting for the DIL to post pictures that her mom took of their greeting our sailor. But do so appreciate viewing yours. YAY!
Well, I will check in now and then but my Son will no longer be on the Alex. It is his turn for land duty. So glad that they are able to stay in Connecticut as they own a home there. I know he will be going back to a sub after that. Not sure where. It has been great being able to talk with other Moms in the same situation. Thanks to all the sailors for doing what they do so we can do what we do!
