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."

One more full day until our son heads back to the ship! We had a great Christmas and he had a great New Years Eve with his buddies!
He really needed this leave! We are really looking forward to our first visit to Norfolk when they get back.
Welcome Camo-Mom!
