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 did not get a note from him. I did get the brochure. Mandi, it seems like all of us in Cardinal Company are 325; he was probably as excited as we are!

Awesome, thank you for sharing both the great news and scripture. Isaiah 41:10 has helped me through the last couple of weeks. "So do not fear, for I am with you: do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
