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, all. No black Friday shopping here. I usually do early morning shopping, not on thanksgiving, however, hubby and I have been ill this week so we are spending this time off work getting better. First missed family gatherings for both of us I think. Kinda glad Hunter didn't have leave during this time. Still haven't heard about his leave yet.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Nice pic, tina.

Heard from Jesse that they were supposed to have a swim off the ship in the ocean as well as a "metal beach" picnic, but it was canceled due to rough seas. They did have turkey, ham, and stuffing etc. for Thanksgiving though. Hope you all had a nice holiday.
