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."

Correction - total # of cards sent was 139. My goal this year is to send at least 1,000. I was hoping to send one each peron, but this group was large.

Alright ladies - sorry I've been silent the last week or so. My son graduated from A school on the 21st. WooHoo - one proud mama! He's already off on his first deployment. Lucky me, he is staying stateside! 3 years in WA! I'm so happy! Anyway, we made a 15 hour road trip - each way to San Antonio so I could pin his badge on him. WOW, what an experience. Anyway, cookies were shipped on Tuesday. Wanted to post a pic of just a few of them. Praying they make it in just a few crumbs and not thousands. LOL! I 'cushioned' them with sixlets! Heehee! Have a blessed day everyone! Off to finish decorating badges and anchors and guns (cookies) to send to my son and his shipmates as a bit of a treat for a job well done for them!
