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."

will light a candle for them for sure!
It is a good thing that we don't all have our "bad" days on the same day! nothing like someone adding fuel to your fire! We are all going to have those times wheather it is related to our boys or not, but having them away from us and the lack of communication that unfortunatly is going to become our reality at some point does not make the day to day ups and downs any easier. I know that I have said it 1000 times I feel so fortunate to have you all with me, and charish the friendships that I have been blessed with here!!!!
