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."

The weather for Wednesday is suppose to be sunny, mid 40's. Too bad spring is only expected to last here in the Northeast for the weekend. We are glad to have a nice Easter, but it would be nice to have the warm weather last a little longer. It will probably be cold on the water, but I am sure no one will care!!

Ellen...not sure about the weather...sorry, but i agree on with you on being excited!...I cant believe its finally here!..my DIL said she hasnt been able to sleep because of her excitement and that her and some of the other wives are staying together the night before and plan on staying up all night...lol...im so HAPPY that this is happening, it seemed as if this day would never come.

Does anyone know what kind of weather we should expect at the Homecoming? I'm from MN with a foot of snow still on the ground. This is getting so exciting & I bet the boys are anxious, too!

yesterday marked 186 days they have been deployed. So if you divide that by 6 it comes out to 31 .. so i am thinking yesterday was 6 months celebration or milestone. ?? Just a thought!
