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."

Sigh...me too.  One letter and one call doesn't go far.  I wish he would write already.  Makes me wonder if he is struggling too.

I appreciate your encouragement :)  My parents got a letter from our son yesterday and shared it with us which in my book is every bit as sweet as if I found it in my own mailbox!!  I am sure that he is tired and he has never been a writer so I really didn't expect to many letters.  I am sure that will change considerably once he gets back to the techie world he is so much more comfortable in (lol).

It feels really go to know that we are only a couple of days away from it being NOVEMBER!!

I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I started sending the ribbon orders out that many of you ordered so if you placed an order for ribbons to wear to PIR to show your support for your soon to be Sailor be watching you mail, it is stalking time lol. Also, I added a great questionnaire to the discussions and you will want to check it out. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the questionnaire. Thanks so much for the ribbon orders. If anyone has any questions at all just send me a friend request or message on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com  :-) LaLa
