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."

Argh! Thank goodness my husband warned me about fine print....I hate when he is right! lol....I was getting super excited, finding an amazing deal on priceline for hotel and flight combo and opted for the insurance thinking it protects us against changes like southwest does...wrong! When I clicked on terms of use, I see that that is only for cancelations and takes over a month sometimes to recoop money...that the airlines will charge seperately for changes in dates, etc on top of a priceline fee! yikes! I almost bought it! Close one! If there was any sudden change in PIR we would of been out of luck and money!

That's so funny, mome2jord; we got a letter addressed to "Mom and Dad" also. Cracked me up.

I'm ready for a really good letter! 

I got a letter from my husband today!!! He said he got the letters I have sent!

yippeeee! That's so great!! :)

Yay for letters!!!  Congrats, I know it made you one happy wife!!!

That's WONDERFUL to hear!!!
I'm so glad to know their getting our letters!!
Lol, though, I have plans for tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait until after my mail goes to embark on my plans.
I don't want to get a letter, then be stuck somewhere else, and have to wait until I can open it! =D
Here's to hope for getting letters tomorrow!! ♥

OMG best phone call I have ever received in my life!!!

Me too!!! Just got off the phone with my son. We got to talk for 20-30 minutes!!! I waited until I got off to cry! So wonderful!

I'm still on could 9 to be crying lol. We had a good talk and he sounds really good. I'm glad he is adjusting so well now.
