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."

Birthday card for 100 year old navy sailor.......
My name is Salena Catron - Mr. Kuntz is My Best Friend and Neighbor...
This year June 15, 2015 Mr. Kuntz will be 100 years old. He doesn't know about this page - Shhhh... It's a SECRET!!! -
** I would like to ask each person who reads this to do a tangible act of kindness to recognize a WWII veteran on his 100th Birthday. Seaman 1st Class James Ralph Kuntz of Kokomo, IN
James was born on 15 June, 1915. He served aboard the USS Swenning in 1945 in the Pacific Theater and then on an LSD Boat out of NAB Little Creek, VA after the war. He was a Radioman and could Morse Code 28 words per minute.
I’d like to ask anyone who is able to kindly send a birthday card to this gentleman to let him know we appreciate his service that contributed to the war effort that saved the world from tyranny. Please send cards to Salena Catron c/o James Ralph Kuntz - 3310 Orleans Dr., Kokomo, IN 46902.
My plan is to get as many Birthday wishes, or even cards I can for him. I really want him to have the VERY BEST Birthday ever!!!

Message from Salena .................My heart is filled with joy and bursting at the seams with happiness – Today, Mr. Kuntz received “171” cards… I want you all to know that I am NOT opening his cards - He will be opening all of them, unless he asked me to help him.
I cannot express to you how eager I am for his Birthday to arrive. This is going to be the BEST 100TH BIRTHDAY DAY EVER and it is all because of all of your love.It is said that caring for other people is driven by deep value-based motivations and concerns to make a positive and practical difference to the lives of other people. Caring can take many forms; I think you all are such caring and thoughtful people… Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me make his 100th Birthday so GREAT!!!!
I hope you all have an A-MAZING DAY!!!
heart emoticon Salena
