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 Patty:
Congrats to your daughter! Mine finished up in September and left for his ship the end of October. What ship is she assigned to?
:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

All is well, he made it home, 4 hours later than scheduled! I have my blue candle burning for those sailors who couldnt be home this Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!

Hi Sandy, gee both in the same fleet and in Japan. Wow. That's interesting about the leave chits and them trying to change the dates to make them look as though they were turned in later. The military isn't the only thing frustrating, Tim's flight from San Diego was delayed so long that once he lands in Denver he will have 10 minutes to make his connecting flight. I hope he makes it!!

Annette, I'm thrilled that your son is coming home!!! Enjoy your holiday's!!!
Update on Tim, he phased up, no big deal, no counseling CHIT. He will be home tomorrow!

I will pray that it all works out Annette. My son called yesterday and was told if he doesn't phase up by Friday he will get a Counseling CHIT. Anyone heard of that before? I asked if it could stop him from coming home for Christmas, he said it could, but he would get it done. So I understand the rollercoaster ride. I don't know what I will do if he dosesn't get to come home.

Oh Annette!
I'm so happy for you and your Sailor! It's the best Christmas present in the world! Hug him tight and tell him "thanks for his service" from a Proud Arizona Mom...
A Very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
