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."

That is a great plan, as much as the recruits report back that the food is good, why is the first thing they ask for is a "really" good meal?!!!

NY vs Chicago pizza has always been a big deal as to which is better :)
Pizza Pie ........ It is a stuffed pizza. But it is like a real pie, very different tasting then what I am used to. But I had to try it just once.
We also had to try White Castle ..... Im such a tourist dork :) -

Oops Teresa,
Not pre-bud moms :)
We had decided to defend and protect this morning and have gotten stuck here :)
I suppose we should evacuate or the pre-buds will be coming along and wondering what the heck happened while we were away. From 20 posts to well over 200 in a day ? OMG
