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."

Happy Thanksgiving to the McFaul family! So thankful for good news from the careline! Let's hope it actually comes to pass this time! The last time we saw our son was a year ago this week. Still very thankful for that week and hopeful that we can see him again after he returns.Saying goodbye at the airport Nov 2011

I have a friend who has very close ties in Israel. Here is what he posted on FB: "ISRAEL- Please let me set the record straight about things in Israel. Contrary to what you may have heard on the news media Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have not had rockets hit them from Gaza. The closest one from Tel Aviv was 15 kilometers away(About 10 miles). The one that supposedly was in Jerusalem in actuality hit in the West Bank which is under Palestinian control and almost hit one of their villages. I have been in direct contact with Israel and things for the most part are normal and routine and tourist groups are leaving and returning every day and there has been no problems. The only area I would not go to presently is in the south around Beersheva and those areas but the rest of the country is fine. I love Israel and have traveled there since 1976 and hate to see so much disinformation by the media and even well meaning believers who know nothing or very little about the geography of the land and the actual situation on the ground. God bless Israel- Gen. 12:3"
