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."

Can't wait for Friday ladies. Safe travel to you all!  Our flight is not until 7pm Thursday night. My husband is a teacher and my son is in college so they had to take as little time off as possible. We should be in charleston areound 11pm. Just in time for a little shut eye before the big event.  Not sure how I will recognize you all but just knowing you are out there somewhere is a nice feeling.

Now that everyone has survived the graduation, I would love to hear what your sailors are doing.  I haven't talked to my son yet this week, but he thought he would be working at Patriot's Point.

My son got Habitat for Humanity.  We hadn't heard good things about it, but evidently that was the downtown location, which they don't go to anymore for that reason.  I guess there is another location just down Red Bank, so not far from base.  He went yesterday from 9 till 1.  Said he spend some time dangling 40 feet in the air (could be an exaggeration), from a rope, spraying fiberglass onto the inside walls of a building.  Sounds interesting anyway.  We'll see what other fun stuff he gets to do, ha. New experiences so that is good.

Mine is taking college classes during grad hold.  He starts classes next Tuesday.

no we weren't there when he got married.  he knew we wanted to be there, but her parents couldn't afford to fly out and she didn't think it would be fair if we were there and her parents weren't.  But I am helping with planning for this summer.

Congratulations on your son's wedding!  My daughter is also taking college classes during grad hold.
