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."

Gold Star mom needs help!
This link is to Miss Fire a dog who was owned by a young man who was injured in Iraq in 2011, returned home and died from his injuries.
This is the information posted: "The dog pictured, Miss Fire, is NOT a Military Working Dog but the dog of a Military member, SGT Kyle Henry who was injured in Iraq and who died upon his return to the USA in October 2011. Fire went to live with SGT Henry’s best friend in November 2011. The friend can no longer keep her and SGT Henry’s mother lives in a “No Pets” retirement community. Fire’s family is moving in 2 1/2 weeks and lives in the Tampa Bay, FL area. If you can give Fire a home you may not be helping a Hero dog…but you will MOST CERTAINLY be helping the beloved companion of a HERO Warrior who is no longer with us. If interested, please email SGT Henry’s mother at patricia.henry5@gmail.com with your contact information."
If you can help out by networking this good girl, or you know anyone who might be interested in adopting her, please reach out to that Gold Star mom who needs our help.

This isn't in my area, it's in Florida, that's why I'm posting it. I'm very familiar and active with my local rescue and foster groups. I live in Central Texas. Networking dogs helps a lot to spread the word.
