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."

Happy Anniversary. I think our whole divisions family sits in front of where our division will be standing.

Happy Anniversary! =) I Hope it's a good one!

Steven didn't want us going with him to meps. I think he didn't want me crying there.

Happy Anniversary! today is our Anniversary, 20 years! big week for us :-)

Yesterday we drove down to Great Lakes, my husband put on his uniform pants and they were a tad bit tight so we decided to go get him a new pair. I can't believe I was accross the street from Sarah and couldnt see or talk to her!!!! I was praying for them to be outside marching! lol On the main side of the base, where Sarah will be after PIR, there were kids (and they looked like babies!!!) walking all over the place in their digitals. it was lunch time so they were all out everywhere. I just wanted to hug them all.

Anyway, she will be so surprised to see her dad in his uniform. & I gotta tell ya, seeing him in it again when he tried it all on gave me tears and goosebumps all over again. 

See you all in TWO days at the meet and greet!

Happy Anniversary Tish and Hubby!  wow - 20 years that is just wonderful!  I know when I see everyone in their uniforms I will cry as well.  My brother wore his when he walked his daughter down the aisle and he looked so very handsome.  I was thinking today I need to do my laundry so it will be ready to pack tomorrow!!!  Wow - its here finally!  We have to leave my house around 5:30 am to get on our 9:30 flight out of LAX.  I don't want to miss the flight that is for dang sure! 

This is so exciting !!! We have to be in Ontario at noon tomorrow for our flight at 2:30. So we will be a couple of hours behind you. I think we have everything packed and ready to go.

Happy Anniversary.  I bet your hubby looks great in his uniform.  You should get some great pics on Friday of your two sailors.

Happy Anniversary!! I can't wait to see him in uniform with our division!!!
We r at Great Lakes!! We r at the gateway....it is so cool to see everyone walk around here in uniform!! Can't wait for Friday!
Wooohoo Tracy!! I can't wait. How exciting.

I am so jealous of Tish and Tracy. I can't wait to get there. I am so glad we are going a day early.
