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."

B. tried college as well. It wasn't for him at the time, either. He's a really great kid too. He's never been in any trouble, never understood why anyone would GET into trouble. LOL  There are rules....there are laws...period. LOL  He's 21 and yes, he asked me if any of my N4Ms had a son with Nic's name, of course he used his "longer" first name, LOL  My son is very friendly, but does choose his friends wisely. I know Nic must be a really good guy, or my son wouldn't have written home, mentioning him. It's just as simple as that! LOL So.....congratulations mom, on your great kid. As for the arrangements, not yet. I'm such a cautious Claudia....I'm afraid to make them too soon and therefore curse that PIR date. I know, I need to get over it and just DO it. It's just that this division seems to be having trouble working together. Silly guys....get it together.

I will accept it and send you a message right away with the info for placing an order.  Be sure to check out my page on FaceBook: Unique Memory Makers.
