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."

I got my kid in a box today!!  He got to boot camp on Monday. It was just like they said. His jeans were still rolled up from trying on boots. He sent me some trash too. A water bottle with a drink left. Crazy Kid!!  I do miss him. I am still burning my candle.

That was last November 2013..Our son is now a DC on the Teddy Roosevelt in Norfolk...Hooyah

Make sure when you go to Chicago, and you need a cab..that they have a gate pass.  Some will just drive you to the gate, then say I will wait for you..Well, we found out the hard way and had to walk about 20 minutes to sign my son out..it was very cold.  If you see those cabs parked at the "dock" they will take you to the gate for $4 and it is worth it.  Our favorite was a sweet fellow named Taupie he is with red and black I believe and he can go on base..Just a little tip for those who don't have a vehicle. Happy Thanksgiving from Whitewright, Texas (60 miles north of Dallas)
