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."

Couldn't go to the Spring N4M get together. Its 27 here and icy. I'm not a good driver on us. Brenda and Cecilia went across Hwy 10 to Houston and up 45, so I guess it was warmer down there and melted. It was so much fun last year, all the little Christmas shops in a quaint old village. Katherine, does Waco have something like that? You know, I didn't get to go to the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco when we were all there!

Kathy I'd check with your post office it shouldn't take that long.
We've talked to Katie quite a few times since they've been back, but last night we were talking to her and a guy gets on the phone I think he said he was her O2 anyways he said he wanted to Thank Us for doing a great job raising Katie, he said that she is 1 of his best workers said she goes above and beyond the call of duty, he said she always works hard and does a great job and always completes her tasks. He said you can tell she had a good upbringing, he said she has a good head on her shoulders and said we did good!! We couldn't be more Proud of Her!! We told him Thank You for all the kind words he said well they are all true!! I said we think she's kinda special he said you should she is!! I just had to share this with you all!!
