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."

LindaGirl, you and your family are in my prayers. Remember, God is in control. Don't let anyone or anything take away from you joy, specially of having your family together for Christmas. The rest are just little bumps on the road. Big NMH my dear!!

Why can't anything go 100% right? We picked up my son from the airport this morning, on leave for 10 days, & I was on cloud 9 all day, knowing that I would have him home here for the holidays, after him not being home here for over a year. Just got a call this afternoon from my Marine son, on his way home from work, on his motorcycle, that he's only had since the summer; a guy blew a stop sign, & my son crashed right into him, breaking his wrist & totaling the bike. I know, thank God he is I alive & not seriously hurt, but now this really puts a damper on the holidays, just when everything was going so right. My husband is at the hospital with him right now, so I don' have all the details, but am waiting for them to return. It's going to be awhile, with x-rays, cast, etc, etc. Some homecoming for my sailor, he gets to see his brother in the hospital for the first time in over a year.

Also, thank you mrsb! It means a lot that you ladies remembered. Especially since I am not on here very often! My sailor is on shore duty right now and I just don't have much to say! He is doing well.
