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."

but its worth the price when the battle is won.
And remember he's thinking of you every day,
he's sad and he's lonely while so far away.
So love him and miss him and hold your head high,
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.
Your man's a seafarer, like that old ancient trader,
It's a high price you pay for loving a Sailor!

Susan, you are a wonderful mom. How can I help with neck scarves? That was a great idea to send the GS cookies. I am sending movies, tv series, etc.

hey there Patty!
I can answer one of your questions... the Air Detachment (helicopter squadron) were not in dress whites... they were working unloading the pallets of their tools and equipment and getting it all stowed away.
I also noticed a few of the ships crew in 'working' clothes getting out underway... my guess is they were BM working the anchor and ropes.
