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 bologna has a middle name....
Saturday I went to buy my mother-in-law a birthday card. I ended up spending ages in the card section of the Hallmark store sifting through cards....
Our SR has ALWAYS been the comedian in the family. We all think we're pretty funny, but our SR has great delivery! He can "comedy speak" any language! Is he really speaking German, Hindi, Chinese and Arabic? NOPE! But you'd not know it if you too didn't speak it. He can imitate any accent speaking English too. It's pretty entertaining. And YES, he has gotten himself into trouble for his gift!
So, to get back to the Hallmark store. Got the card for the mother-in-law... leaving the store...
..........and then there was one card that caught my eye. It was round and looked like a slice of bologna. on it was written,
My bologna has a middle name...
It's Marie
One stupid card, with a stupid thing written on it, and I knew my SR would be laughing right beside me... he's getting that card!
These are the comforts of a Navy Mom!!
Have a good laugh today too!!

I sent mine one that had a cell phone with a snail on it and inside it said "this is one slow text". I sent it to him because he would much rather text that talk on the phone.
