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."

Wow, you did it! How the heck did you find it? He's the second one from the left. You're an angel -- my mom will be so excited! Thanks a million!
Thanks, Susan -- can you send me a link? I can't find it on YouTube!
Oh, my goodness, and I felt bad missing a football game! At least your husband can go - -I'm sure that means a lot to your son. It's so difficult to nail down these Navy dates, isn't it? We had to re-book our flight 3 times when Ben graduated from sub school, which made the trip cost 3X what it should have. I'm sure your husband will take plenty of photos of the ceremony, and you can rest assured knowing that you're a good mom AND a good daughter!
Thanks, Jersey Susan! Yes, I did receive the pictures, and I sent a note back (I got an out-of-office reply). Thank you so much. I appreciate the advice about the email, and I did consider the privacy aspect, which is why I used the email address I normally reserve for coupons and that sort of thing. Now that I know how to send email on the site, I'll use that from now on.
Once again, thanks so much for the pics -- they were great!
My email is rachel_sumi@sbcglobal.net. If you wouldn't mind emailing me those pics, I'd love to see them -- thanks!!
