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."

Bailey is 18 (her birthday is in April) - she graduated from high school in June. From the letters she's sent and phone calls she's made, things are going well for her. She wrote that she LOVES (all big letters) the Navy!

Hi, I grew up in Hurst, went to L D Bell, and lived in Ft. Worth for 30 yrs. My son was born in RH, and I still have a brother in NRH (he has two sons in the army- so there is some competition there, I don't know why...)
Our children are all serving our country - doesn't matter to me what branch, but you know how rivalries are...
I am currently in Deep East Texas, but Ft. W. is my home, and I spend a great deal of time in Conroe, where my parents and other brother lives. My retired navy brother lives in Florida now after 25 yrs of living in Rhode Island. My son went from Great Lakes to SAn Diego, but is home for the holidays for a few more days now.. -
