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."

That is so great, Sherilyn.   I wish my father was still alive to see his grandson graduate from the same place that he graduated from boot camp in 1927.  I have a picture of this 1927 graduating class.

That is awesome that your dad will be at the PIR.  I wish my dad were still alive to see his grandson graduate from Navy bootcamp.  I am sure that he is looking down from heaven and helping his grandson.   I will look forward to meeting you in less than 2 weeks.  Yeah.

Cheers--Mary

Sherilyn - I too have been married for over 25 years.  We have 4 children 2 daughters and then 2 sons.  Our 2nd, Katie, is the one in the Navy.  She left for BC 10/8/08, PIRd 12/5/08 and then after A school at GL was sent to Japan for 3 years.  She is a DC on the USS Essex.  What rate is your daughter?
