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."

We are staying at the Residence Inn in Waukegan and like jdmom thinking about biting the bullet and scheduling plane flights and car rental tomorrow, I heard Wednesdays are good rate days for booking flights, just so unsure about whether to fly home Saturday or Sunday, Saturday flights are cheaper but would hate to miss a day if he was not flying out Saturday.

I am driving from mass as well.  I can't decide if I want to drive straight through or stopping.  What have you decided?

Hi, Moms,

I was reading some old postings, and I guess my daughter is one of the oldest  there.  She is late twentys, and doing well. She was worried about the push ups but passed those with flying colors.

She said she has lost 6 lbs, but the place she noticed it the most is her arms!  Must be those push ups!

We recieve 2 or 3 letters a week now.  Those first few days were rough, but God is good.

My Dad lives in Racine, so we will be staying with him and driving to GL.
