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."

No worries...I figured I could joke with you about the height thing since I am 5'2"! lol

I know it is getting exciting! Tonight is the night! I don't want to say much because I've been reading a lot of what we are not suppose to be saying and it is confusing! I took tomorrow off of work, so that I do not miss that phone call and can answer it in private. Good luck with your packing...be sure to pack a warm coat since the high here on Friday will only be 43 degrees! Winter in Chicago is coming!!!

I know, it is very confusing, not just a little! I cannot figure out where I am going exactly on here. Facebook right now seems like the easiest way to communicate, doesn't it? lol Great pictures, but he surely did not inherit your height or lack there of I should say? lol I'm 5'2" and thank God my son Joe is 6'! lol Dustin looks to be tall, too.

Hi Dustin's Mom - my name is Vicki - live in Oregon. We did not get letters today, but am hoping for tomorrow! I miss my boy too - hard to go from talking to daily to clinging to the hope of a letter once a week. Especially reading that some are getting anywhere from 2-6 on mail day.
