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."

I am a part of something greater than myself and living my dream

My favorite book is The 5 People you Meet in Heaven

I cant stand it when people contradict themselves by preaching one thing and doing another, just be honest with yourself and with me and we'll get along just grand

I wish i lived closer to home and could see my friends and family on a more regular basis

My family would tell you I'm pretty quiet at first, but quite the jokester once you get to know me. I am very laid back and have the striking ability to roll with the punches even though i'm not too big on change (go figure haha) they would also tell you that i am patriotic to the core and the navy and i are a good fit in spite of it all.

1. I am _the second of 9 kids....Grew up in Navy Norfolk...Very likely the oldest mom here :) But I used to win dance contests when I was young in the 70's

2. I just love to read...Mostly Christian fiction...Like the Mitford Series and the Left Behind Series.. I also Love "Piercing the Darkness" and "This Present Darkness"

3. First impressions are often made by how one presents themselves. Bad grammer is a pet peave....I guess that's from having an English major as a mom.... Looking past those less fortunate breaks my heart.

4.I wish there was a place for everyone to lay their head down at night,. Homelessness bothers me.

5. My family would tell you I love to talk, I really love to laugh and the kid in me still lives....I like people!
