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."

Prayed for all of our SR's for a successful week while in church today. No calls here either... I live very close to an Air Force Base. Every night they play TAPS over the loudspeaker and you can hear it at my house. When I hear TAPS at the AFB, then I know I can stop looking at and listening for the phone for the day....no calls after TAPS :) Can't wait to meet everyone in a few days at PIR!!

Rest assured he will not be forgotten. I am hopeful that the surgery will be successful for Jake. Jake, honey, don't give up on your dream!! In one way or another your Country needs YOU! You have a calling and it is a LOUD one!! Never give up!!
Becky, thank YOU for being there for ME when I was in tears back on 8/10 waiting for the call that my son had arrived safely at Great Lakes. You waited up with me until the phone finally rang around midnight. I will NEVER EVER FORGET that you were there for me that night. God Bless You Both!! -
