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."

Edwina, thanks for all the news. Katie I know has kept in contact with Stephen since they PIRd. Good to hear the family was able to be together for a visit or two. Always good to hear that the community welcomes and likes to have the military around. Congrats on the reenlistment. I know that some sailors aren't able to do to their overmanned rate, etc. What sub will he be on? We have a retired sub Captain in our congregation.

Katie is still in Japan serving on the USS Essex. She should be headed back to the USA sometime in May 2012 or so......depending on the Navy.
Good to hear the update Edwina. Becca is Stephen C's sister, right. Glad to hear things are well and you've had the chance to see Lafe.
