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."

Have you all seen all the new pics on military.com/navy? There are so many.
Danielle and the whole band cuttin up! Doing drills, in the boat, there are MM, ITS, Ensigns, etc. Lots of new faces. I don't know everyone's last name, so I couldn't tell you if your sailor is in it or not. I did notice one mistake in naming them.

Sailor #2 is on the Blue Ridge. He is a MM and finished his training in January and arrived in Japan the end of January so he is really new. We also have sailor #1 who is on the Essex in Sasebo Japan. It is good to hear that you try to keep each other informed. I have said that sailor #2 will never be a security risk because he tells too much. We don't get a thing from him. It sure helps that he is the second one so we have some idea how things work.

We do keep each other updated especially when they are underway!!
I missed Katie's call yesterday, but her dad said she was glad to be heading home to Yokosuka where it's warmer for sure!!

CCR I use both so yes the sbcglobal.net is good. I was talking to Katie earlier today and she said she fell twice yesterday on the ice, she said she bruised her tailbone and her back and her head hurt really bad, I think they all need to get out of this place before they all end up injured geeze!!

Kathy, is the sbcglobal no longer any good?

Thanks for posting the pics MOlly. I wish I knew how to do photos and video on a phone. When I had a cell phone I only used it for calls, didn't know how to text. But now that I have to buy a new phone to revitalize my business, I'm going to get one that has SOME bells and whistles to learn new things. I can DO IT!
