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."

hey Ruth, I missed it. I have not been on line in a while. What happened to Zach?? I was so looking forward to meeting you. Is everything okay??  sandi

call going on right now

 

:-)
Just got my call........ stand by your phones!!!!!
I cried a little when the call began...... I wanted to be strong for her (so i quickly stopped).  Turns out she's one tough cookie, ............she and I laughed about all kinds of things.
oh that was way too short. But at least we actually got the call! So my daughter checked with her bunkmate and she said that her mom was on NFM too. I will try messaging you guys to see if one of you is her.
Did you start crying when you hung up?  I did. but then I came right to my computer to tell all of you.  This site really is our life line.  How did your daughter sound?  Sam sounds ok, but very frustrated.  He said there are tears from many.  Some throw up due to fear.  I asked him what he wanted to do after the ceremony, and he said ':GO HOME' he didn't realize it was 3 hours away.  He did say it was HELL, however, he said to tell everyone that they can get letters everyday, and to please send them daily, because all of the kids really need them
I started crying, she started crying. She sounded okay but frustrated as well. She is happy with what she is doing. Said it is hard sometimes but she keeps at it. She loves her bunkmate was able to tell me that her bunkmate's mom is here on NFM somewhere. I just need to find her. It was a short call, but we stuffed alot of stuff in there. Along with all of the I Love Yous at the end.
I am so glad you got your call, Sandy.  I know it's crazy but I actually feel worse now, and more lonely.
I asked Clinton about Sam and he said that he didn't know for sure because there is so many of them. I cried when I was on the phone with him, off the phone, and while I am writing you!!
Awe..... I did to at the start of the call, but I told myself "NO NO"... she and I laughed and talked about several things!!! She is my best friend ((Hugs self)).
