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 can't believe they are almost done. Most of us started out together at the Cardinal Game and now we will see each other at the Graduation. I'm going to miss all of you. This has been one heck of a trip!!!

Anyone packed yet? :)
I'm not; I'm just getting excited! My SR requested OREOs and Nilla Wafers. Must get to the store. Normally I would tell him that OREOs cost too much, but not this time. :)

Mandi - If you add me as a personal friend, I can personal message you what I was told about Battle Stations.
