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 hotel looks very nice, I am sure your family will enjoy that. The beach around the lakes is just like being at the ocean and is beautiful. From some of the posts I read, the sailors want to get away from the base. My hubby was a submariner.
No more letters or calls here. -
