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."

So your husband will be a Chaplain? that is exciting. They need more of him. I live in Ouray and have twins in he navy. My first to join is deployed and a month in to deployment the chaplain left the ship. They do have lay sailors leading bible study and a sunday service. I think he misses the Chaplain though.

Hi, I am also living in Colorado Springs. I am a navy mom. My daughter went into BC in August and was suppose to have her PIR on October 11th, She then was injured and now is in Phase 4 so hopefully she will become a Sailor very soon. To say that this is a roller coaster ride of emotions is putting it mildly. This is an awesome group of support for us. Welcome
