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."

hey Kelly's mom
that is so cute!!! Yes I am going to meet and greet. are you flying in? Southwest goes to Midway, but I heard from the hotel where we are staying Springhill suites, that it can be difficult to get out of that airport...I think we will take a shuttle or taxi, very pricey but well worth it.. I know how much you must miss your daughter...I can't wait to see Steven....so glad you heard from her....I feel badly for them it is so cold out there..my son wrote to me to tell me it was the coldest place he has ever been to in his life...lol.
