OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

My sailor called us from a friends phone this past weekend. Was wonderful to hear his voice. It was 2am there for them and they were on patrol/watch. He sounded good. They really seemed to like the launching of the little boats (exercises with the marines. If you go to the USS germantown site and then like the Amphibious sqaudron page they post a lot of pics. Cory was in two of them. One he was listed by name. There are some spectacular photos in there!!!

Ok Renee, LOL. You go by Renee E. So I'm venturing to guess our boys are good friends. Along with a Dakota. If that's the case and you want to talk, I can private message you my last name and we could friend on Facebook too.
