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."

Well ladies, this is it! We're scrambling around now trying to get our last minute errands run because we're heading north in a few hours! It's gonna be an all-nighter for us ... hey! It's our version of Battlestations! BLECK! lol
Can't wait to see and meet everyone face to face either at the Meet-n-Greet or at PIR on Friday! (Don't know for sure if we'll be at the Meet-n-Greet, but we will be there on Friday with big smiles on our faces!)
Safe travels to everyone! Enjoy your time with your SAILOR!! -

Where's the post?
I'm in the midst of packing, but realized I hadn't printed off our hotel room confirmation .... so I thought I'd check in before logging off!
We're leaving in a couple of hours! (Waiting until later in the afternoon so as to miss the Atlanta rush hour - which is actually the Atlanta rush HOURS!) -

Saw the link ... not my Joshua - drats! But I'm sure that Josh's mom will be happy! Hey, I'll get to see mine in a couple of days!
Oh - and we are not dressing "fancy" - since we have to travel so much, so quickly - it's gonna be blue jeans, tennis shoes and sweaters for me and for both my hubby and son. We will be driving all night tonight and I don't want to have to worry about ironing ANYTHING ...
See ya'll in Great Lakes! -
