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."

sharon, hope you hear from your son soon about coming home.
kimTN, sounds like hans is settling in to the apartment.
cathy, hope you had a nice visit with your girlfriend.
so, since tony and i don't get to go on the cruise, we're planning on taking our daughter to florida to visit some family and friends, see some beaches, maybe take her to a "tween" concert. oh, and stop and see the grandbaby in kentucky on the way. :)

hi all! Hope everyone is well!
Sharon - have you heard leave dates yet?
It's a beautiful sunny/blue sky day here! My girlfriend from Illinois is coming home today for a short visit. Looking forward to spending time with her. She's been under ALOT of stress lately. She is the City Clerk at City of Dixon and the one who uncovered the $53 million dollar embezzlement by the comptroller (Rita Crundwell). We will have a great time together and it will give her a nice little break.
Take care,
Cathy

revised.
Thanks Marianne. I forwarded this article to my son. He had told me much of it when it happened. I can't comment. As you know my son was an FC on the Essex until Apr 2011.
Prayers to the family of the soldier
