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."

My family and I (hopefully 4 of us) will definately be attend, we all very excited and anxious to see our sailor. I have written to my son several times and he has adjusted extremely well, I attribute that to his maturity level, older age and being on his on(college) for several years, so he really hasen't had any real difficulties yet. We are praying for a joyfull reunion for all of our sailors.

I put might attend because I don't know for sure since we are driving 8 hours. But if we get there, there will be 3 of us!!

Tiffany,
depends on your son. If he's anything like mine, calling and writing to let you know he's ok and what he's doing doesn't cross his mind. I haven't heard from Nick since Aug 3, but his cousin has and a couple of his friends have.

Less than 2 weeks to go! I am so excited! I am going to get the car all ready, tires filled with air, all the lubricants checked, etc., will probably even have the oil and filters changed. Don't want any problems getting to PIR! I think we will probably leave pretty early on the 4th, so we should be able to get to GL by middle of the afternoon. We are set for Flannigan's that night, and then PIR on the 5th! I am really looking forward to looking at those baby blues of Ethan's!
