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."

Kathy, is your daughter newly assigned to Groton? Does she have a sponsor she can contact? I know that both times my son reported to a new base, an on-duty driver was available to pick him up from the airport.

Happy New Year eveyone! It has been a very busy time for me between Christmas and New Year. I've missed my deployed son soooo much. And, now with Iran flexing their muscles and testing their mid-range rockets, my anxiety levels have risen quite a bit. I also got a letter, finally, from my "adopted" son in A'stan. We usually correspond every day, but it had been 3 days and I was wondering what was happening. 2 Marines were killed at FOB Leatherneck & so access to the computer was shut down. But he made the comment that "at least we made a good showing against the insurgency!" Why is it that the news just doesn't want to cover what is going on over there; or, for that matter, what Iran is up to?? I think the unknown is worse than knowing ... notice I did use the word "think"!
Hope all is well with your sailors. Please keep the 5th Fleet and the land-based sailors and marines in your thoughts and prayers. It sounds like Iran is up to no good. Thank you.
