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."

Nice that she won't be alone. Its a little difficult to have a loved one in a different time zone..lol. I won't anymore finally...yeah!.. I wish her luck.. I am sure she will be great and happy. Welcome to the fitz

oh i know she'll be in good hands. her bf is on the fitz also. she's an fc with the agis(?) system. she has never been overseas at all. i have (air force brat) and her sister got out of the navy last year and was on deployment so this will be new to her. at least she has her bf who has been there for 6 months but just happens to be on leave in ca right now, lol

She will be in good hands as the Fitz is a close family. I hope she loves Japan and is adventurous. There is so much to see there. My son leaves Japan beginning of June... what is her rate? (Job)... tell her to hang in there, it can be a little scary at first if she has not ever been stationed over sea's.

I got to fb with my sailor.. he seems to be in better spirits finally. He will be moving to the States in June and will be joining the USS John Paul Jones in San Diego... I will be happy when he is back in the same time zone as me! He will be coming home for a few weeks in between. I can't hardly wait!..
