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."

Missed My Box!

Was already having a rough day...not focusing at work knowing his box should arrive today. Took early lunch. Seen FedEx truck all the way at other end of street...the "dreaded" "sorry we missed you" tag on my door....well, I THREW vehicle in park, mid driveway....ran up and grabbed it...then waited in driveway to see if he'd circle back. Nope. Not today. I'm sure neighbors thought I was crazy if they witnessed it all.

I thought to myself...yep, I'm a Navy Mom for sure.

Come on 5:00!!! I'm going to pick it up...can't risk missing it again. I've never looked forward to dirty clothes as much as I do today. My heart aches....

I completely understand that! That happened to me last week. Was so happy to see her handwriting on the box (for the address lol).

I received the box yesterday and I can't believe that was my son's handwriting!  It was so neat!  I'm taking that as a good sign :)
