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."

May you be quick to hear, quick to obey, and quick to trust Him with every detail of your life. May you lift your eyes to Him, and walk faithfully to your next place of promise. He is faithful to His Word. Sleep well tonight.

Hi Shari! Have you heard from Ali yet? I haven't heard from Chris yet. I have been very sad. Your spiritual messages have been uplifting. Our children and all our worries are in Gods hands. Let me know if and what she has written. I may just call you. Love Cindy.
