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."

I talked to my husband last night, he said it was so relaxing and beautiful. The food was very yummy and he just sounded so good!! I am glad they got this stop!! Now they need to hurry up and come home!!

Glad I'm not the only one! It's hard to come up with stuff to keep a conversation going. I learned a long time ago to not ask too questions! I usually get yes, no or can't say as a response.

Thanks Georgia! I know my son will love Italy. Thank God they had another port call.
I don't hear too much either Melissa - I think it's been a long, tough cruise. When Andrew does call it's pretty much a one sided conversation.

Hi everyone! Only 3 more weeks and our sailors will be home. I am glad to hear that they got to stop at another port. I hope Jonathan is taking pictures. We just don't hear from him very much. I am glad I can keep up through your comments. I hope and pray they are all safe. See you soon!!!
