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."

Kathleen, I'll shoot mine to you tonight. I came in covered in snow and mud over my muck boots putting Gable in a stall. He's loving that hay. I didn't realize how soggy the ground was and thought- instead of my knee boots I'd just slip on my ankle clog muck boots and get- r- done.
Oops. We'll just call it a mud pack!!

On the right hand side where it says search, I type in USS Blue Ridge and then ask them to sort by date since I've downloaded them all since last of August.
On both sites you can search for articles also!

Hello two boys: Would you mind putting the MM info into the discussion forum topic "What does your sailor do?" That way, when we want to look it up, we don't have to go pages and pages back to find it! Thanks and welcome. Sometimes I hear more from these moms than I do my sailor. But then he calls me, and we talk forever, but its not every week.
