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."

Perfect I will have my camera as well. Probably not as good as yours but it is ready with plenty of batteries. I also bought a whole bunch of tissues packs for my purse. People will probably think I am crazy. LOL but my purse will be full if anyone needs any if they run out.

Yes on the photos. I'm all for it. I'm getting so excited. 6 weeks ago it was dread and tears. Now big smile, WooHoo, and a knowing that Chapter 1 is so close to the end. Hookah!
They are to get snow tomorrow I read. Finally. My poor SR has always hated to shovel. I hope he gets a gets a dose. They have had it pretty good this winter at GLRTC. I spoke with my Mom tonight from the Bahamas. It was cool she said in the 60's. Again, if you know anyone interested in buying a completely furnished 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, water front with dock, let me know. If you have joined our covert ops Facebook page, I am writing my story. I haven't gotten to the part where the ex had to have this in the Bahamas to make him feel better. That chapter to come!

Okay, so those of you with good cameras and such, please make sure to take lots of wonderful pictures. My camera is just not that good, and I'm NOT a photographer. And, those willing to share. . . bless you.

Ditto...I have a phone for a camera. I would love if someone took pictures. I am so NOT a photographer as well. Of course my ex and his fiance will have a camera and take pics but I would love to have someone else to rely on for pics!
