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."

Hi Veleda,
Welcome to our group!! Looking forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! We have a wonderful group here, so happy you joined us!! Yes we try to keep each other informed about things happening on the ship.

ok Kathy, thanks. I told him IT.
Veleda, I want to welcome you. My husband is a chef and when he was president of the East TX chefs association, there was a lady Sherrie who owns dessert dreams in Dallas - she went on about 4-5 ships as a mentor. Her father was an FC in the Navy like my son, so we talked a lot. I wish my husband could go BR to do that, so he could see our son, but he can't get off work.
He would be a GREAT CS mentor though, he teaches classes and stuff. Even though he has a thick accent and is hard to understand - (he is from Brazil) he tells funny stories while he's cooking!
PS Linn changed her picture!!!

CCR I told Katie but I don't think she's ran into him yet.

Happy belated Birthday Kathleen. My son said some girl looks at him like she thinks she knows him. Did either of you ladies tell your daughter about Patrick? Not that you would, just curious.

Happy Birthday Kathleen!!! Hope he calls!!

Katie and her friend did that too. I just got an email from her she said the hotel was very nice. Wonder if they all were at the same hotel. She says she loves it there and the next time we do a family vacation we have to do it there LOL, she says we all would have a blast. She says the only downside is that she already spent a chunk of money.
