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."

Just saw this while "cleansing" any discussions--so far so good. However, the cats are a riot! Your black and white looks like our old one who sadly passed on just before sailor left for boot camp. Cat was 20 years old and a great first cat!

I would love to go back in time and ride with my sister. She passed away last December. We would talk about old times and the crazy things we did growing up together.

Any one ready to add to this conversation? Just found it while looking for some boot camp info for another mom. Right now I would love to ride any bicycle because that would mean GOOD weather!
