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'm new to FB. I just signed up for it the other night after Nola said pictures from B/S were available on it. I don't have a clue how it works. Can someone please direct me on how to find the pictures? I'm not tech savy. My SR had to show me how to take a picture with my cell phone.

Okay Terra, Why didn't you put a warning on the YouTube videos? Do you know how many tissues I went through?and I didn't even know anyone ! I am bringing a box with me specifically for this purpose. Anyone want to be prepared for PIR just watch any of the videos and I guarantee there won't be a dry eye.

Just joined n4m's but I have been reading this site for the past few weeks. I am so excited to see my stepson on Friday. Yes, I am his step mom but I love him as if he was my own. We will be staying at the Residence Inn also and would like to say hi on Thursday night if anyone wants to share. I decided to call myself his Bonus mom because I hate the connotations of the term step mom. Just sharing and Congratulations to all the mom, steps, dads, girlfriends, wives etc.. who will attend on Friday.
