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."

The black and white picture above was from his boot camp in San Diego. Back when they had boot camp there in the 60's.
These are later. I know he went to his ET school in Jacksonville, FL and Virginia.

SueS do you know that if your father-in-law is your sailors Grandpa that makes your sailor a legacy?
the way I understand it is IF your family member was on a ship that was sunk during battle,you are a legacy and that is very important :) Look into that ------- We are working on Coltons legacy right now. His uncle was on the WASP. -

OK this is our project either when I get back from Virginia, or when Will goes in (to keep your mind away from BC) I need to find the official documents of my uncle. I know where we search and how.
this will be fun for us to do together SusieQ. The easiest thing is to get his real name and SS# or service #, but if you cant find that, we can start at is he buried at military cemetary ? if so where.
Ok Girl dont forget and remind me and we will play and get our boys background info :)
Legacy = 1st respect, but it also gets you points for things like STA 21, Annapolis (just a tad edge) I dont know what else ---but Colton says it is important to be a legacy. tee hee hee This will be a hoot !! -
