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."

Glad things are going well.
I don't have to worry about her being on the ship but I worry about all of Our Sailors on the BR. Katie's hubby is in K town as he says it on deployment too.
Gee it sounds like Ramos and Katie need to get together and have a Sing A-long, about 6 months ago she was playing her Disney CD in her office LOL, she said and yes they guys were singing.
