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."

can hardly wait til Friday!!!!
son is on ship 04 div 803 and we are leaving for Chicago Thursday am. will get to see son Friday am and boy is that son of mine going to get one of the biggest and longest huggs ever. and countless kisses. This has been one of the hardest times in my life without him around. He is the baby, and one of the best people I know. I know everyone feels the same, but i just have to let the world know. I think I am going to go crazy with all the time he will spend away from me and not sure i can ever get use to it, but i support him, I sure wish the military was more family centered, we wil have to pay his plane ticket home for xmas but i am going to no matter what it cost, just to have him home.I hope the time he is gone goes by fast and the time home is slow.
