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."

Taking a deep breath.... almost....
My 6 yr old starts a new school tomorrow, and Scott should have started his classes at the Naval Academy today.
Induction day was soooo awesome...Thanks to all of you, and all early acceptance, I was able to leave my tears home, and just be there for Scott. We did the DC tour from one end of the mall to the other, and toured the yard the day before. USNA is breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. I was in awe of how well run things were with 1200+plebes and their crying moms and dads! UFB.... truly a work of art.
PPW was great too. Scott slept a lot, and seemed to be hypervigilant just making sure the detailers in sheeps clothing (civies) did not fault him for anything out of order. He even ran into his own detailer and said hello MR....., as if he had just busted the cop behind the speed trap. How funny.
As it turns out, Scott injured his knee during the obstacle course and again in recent weeks. Now he needs surgery to correct the ligaments to prevent continual knee dislocations. Yet another chapter. He will remain with the Navy, and be rehabbed, and it should not affect his appointment.....Sigh....
Afraid to take too big of a deep breath.... still trying to remain hypervigilant... Hmmmmmm, wonder where Scott gets this from? Ha!
