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."

White Castles for Graduation?
One of our fellow moms - just pointed out they have White Castles in Chicago!! Do you think this might be considered a "really good meal" for our new sailors?!!
Seriously, we live in the South and it is a treat to go up north and have a White Castle! But what I'm really looking for is recommendations for eating out that weekend.
I hear Chicago Pizza is a must try...any others?

I took classes in Critical incident training by many people that were also in Oklahoma boming. We were taking care of people from Hurricane Katrina when we got hit 3 weeks later by Hurricane Rita which distroyed SW Louisiana. When I meet you I hope it will be at our sons PIR and not some disaster. WHAT DAY is your BD. I noticed that you had not answered that yet.

25th. :>) I am done with big disasters, unless it is to push paper behind the scenes to evaluate reactions for future needs. My hubby and I do little "disasters" here in ND, search and rescue, grief interventions. stuff like that.

That is why I had the back surgery. As a nurse, we try to avoid it. But the one bone, broke the next one and I was about 2 inches shorter. So it put a stop to it. But it was a brand new technique. I am glad yours worked. Any break especially in the neck, I think is real scary for potential problems. Are you pain free?

Joyce, I am back at work and took a peek. Thank YOU, it is the family. I am learning all the time (actually from Shell) how to be gracious, and diplomatic. I am a slow learner some days. But as I remember that it was also from YOUR COMMENTS on day, that I thought, OH YEAH, TURN THAT OTHER CHEEK.
