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."

Good morning everyone!! I had a picture yesterday from my sailor family and they were outside at the park with the grandbaby. It looked a bit chilly! We were up to almost 80 degrees on Tuesday and then we had a cold front move in last night and dropped us back down below freezing!!
I hope our Norfolk sailors are all doing well.

Northwoodsmom and Gigi - I never experienced a full-fledged deployment with my son. We will see what happens with my DIL. The funny thing is, I probably wrote my son less emails, which I do very regularly while he was out to sea than I wrote letters when he was in BC and yet, they are just as void of news from home.
