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 finally got a letter from my son.  The best day of my life and about time 5 weeks.  UGH!!!  He is doing awesome really likes it. He  just had his wisdom teeth pulled on the 13th and said it went fine.  He said he has a leadership role as a Master at arms.  He said he could make his bed in about 5 min. and can fold his clothes real good.  LOL..  Well I could go on forever.  I am soooo darn proud.

Hi Andrea! How are you doing today? Did you get my message? I was pretty sleepy when I sent it.  Keep your phone by your side today, because they may get to call.

I have my tripped all booked as well. Have you checked out the PIR groups on here? There's a lot of good information and helpful moms. There's a Meet & Greet on the Thursday before the PIR that a lot of the moms are going to. It'll be nice to finally meet all my new friends!
