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."

Hi Abby! I am just trying to keep myself focused on the good stuff...I have a habit of getting a little anxious about all the "what if" senarios and make myself a little crazy! Like "what if" my SR has lost his little phone book and can't remember my number?!!! (ya know how all the numbers were programmed into his phone and he doesn't know any by heart)...
or "what if" he gets tripped during the final PT and falls and breaks a leg....
or he gets MRSA from the communal showers...
or "what if" he got sick from the last round of shots and accidentally coughs in the RDC's face during inspection...
Yah, you don't wanna know what it'll be like in MY head this week! LOL!

alane7 I'm the same lately as well! School is kicking my hind parts right now, but I keep tabs on what is going on as all the responses are sent to me via email. It helps keep me informed, but I can't reply through the email. I really am excited!! We fly out a week from Thur. We get in too late to go to meet and greet, which is very sad to me!! I really hope to meet all of you and your SAILORS!! Have any of you heard about our division shirts, what they look like, and how we get one??

Sarges? I would like to-staying at Ramada so I know I will stop there. It will depend on what time we roll in-its a 12 hour drive. My goal is to be at the hotel by 4pm. Without any speeding tickets...
The hubbs said 'whatever' when I asked him

Today we mourn with our friend and sister, our hearts cry for her and her family. Our prayers are with her son, that he will find the window that will be open for him. Know that you will always be a part of our family, and that we are here for you.
