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."

Hahaha! Meaghan is excited about the Mess Hall - if someone else doesn't cook it the only thing she'll make is ramen noodles. Needless to say; I'm a working Mom so we own stock in Ramen LOL!! My In-Laws live in Florida and they insist there are only two seasons there as well.....Summer and "The Frying Pan". June to August they normally come and stay with us because it's so hot there, but there winters are really nice so Katie will love it there December to April the temperature is fantastic. Tell Katie to buy a bikini for the beach! Do they sell those in Alaska?! JK !! She'll definately want to go to the beach though!

That's so awesome! Meg decided her choices were the Navy or nursing school, but she doesn't like being indebted (financially) to anyone so she figured at worst she'd put in her four years and get $ to pay for nursing school; at best she loves the Navy, makes a career of it, retires in 20 years with full benefits and starts a civi career after that! We definately have strong girls!! Meg will be in GL through the end of May because that's where A-school is for her. She's hoping to actually be living on a ship; preferrable an aircraft carrier so we'll see. Where is Katie's A-school? BTW, my name is Sunny and I would think graduation would be the same time for both girls as well since they are leaving for GL at the same time so we'll definately have to find each other there!

What's Katie's job! Meaghan is a Gunner's Mate; she's all of 5'0" tall and 110 pounds so she's looking forward to being "the little girl that carriers a big gun"!! LOL. Prior to Meaghan, we were not a military family so this is really new to us. Meaghan used to be a competition cheerleader and missed the team environment, knowing exactly what was expected of her, beign able to count on her team and her team count on her,etc.....so I think that's where the military drive came from for her. Regardless, I couldn't be any more proud and excited for her. Is Katie out of school yet? Not sure how the school system works there, but Meg graduated a couple of weeks ago. She has three beach trips planned for the summer and doesn't like the cold weather; so GL should be interesting for her! Meg will stay in GL after BC for A-school through the end of May, so she'll get to experience a long hard winter there! Where does Katie go for A-school?
