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."

As many of you know . . . my older son has been taking online classes, working toward his teaching certification . . . Well, this session, he has two classes instead of one and has been 'monopolizing' HIS laptop . . . the nerve of him!!!
So . . . I have been seriously considering buying myself a new phone and upgrading to one that has unlimited internet access . . .
Dare I spend money on something 'un-necessary'? Or it this necessary? What to do, what to do . . .

Well Joyce, How many trips to the Library are you willing to make? At one hour per secession.LOL It might be cheaper than paying for the gas. Hee Hee.

Oh Joyce - that's easy
Laptop Computer - $900.00
Unlimited Internet Access on cell phone - $25.00
Peace of mind for a Navy Mom - PRICELESS!

You know you are addicted to NavyforMoms when you have a vacation planned and you have anxiety's about not being able to get on this site for a whole week. Then you have to get your lap top set up with Verizons wireless card and sign up for a whole year contract at $50 per month, just so you have access unlimited for one week! (plan is to give the card to my son when he's at A school)
In fact I am currenlty riding in the van cruising down the highway. I figured the 7 hr trip will be short I'll be on this site the whole time :-) I'm happy

if you have more than one computer in your house do you need to get a card for each? Does this card allow you to use the internet anywhere on the road? I got slammed by roaming cost and could only use mine at McD. or airports. If you get this card you can get rid of other internet in your house? like att? If that would work I would get rid of my home phone, internet site and just use the wireless card and cell. We don't have Verizon in Lake Charles, but if it works anywhere I would try it
