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."

My heart will soon be whole again! I finally got my “I’m a Sailor” call!! I am so VERY proud of my husband for the amazing job hes done!  He didn’t end up getting Honor Grad, due to his score on test 3 (4.2) but it’s ok, hes done amazing anyway!

 

My bags are packed, my car is loaded up, the pups are ready to go and I am out of here. Staying the night at his parents house tonight, early flight tomorrow!! Have to be up by 3am! Plane leaves at 6 and its a hour to the airport…. I will see you all on friday!

Congratulations!  I'm so happy for your "Sailor" and yourself.  Jealous you're on your way, but my turn will be in 3 more weeks.  Love him, hug him, and cherish all the moments you have with him!  Have a great weekend and tell us all about it when you get back!  So happy for you!
