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."

Popping in to say hi! Happy Friday! Spring stalled here in upstate NY! We're back to 30s/40s...hopefully that changes soon. Would love to see blue skies and sunny days!
Danagirl - congratulations from me too on your son's surface warfare pin! and...
Sharon - oh you must be SOOO excited! I'll be interested in hearing about how the processing out goes for Steven. Fingers crossed for you...for the best Mother's Day gift EVER!!!!
YES...this N Korea thing is so out of control! I find myself talking myself in and out of worry all day long and wanting to throw up when I hear all of this craziness! And prayers non stop.
Been texting and FB messaging with Josh. He seems to "sound" good. Long hours six days a week. Sounds like he might be able to squeeze in some golf on Sunday according to a FB post I saw.
Well...wishing you all a nice weekend! Love hearing from everybody!
