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."

I know exactly how you feel. Erica told me that they had been playing tic tac toe. Too funny! That's a good way to meet someone through the mail. I am at work now and just can't concentrate on anything but seeing my son!

Happy Labor Day to All. I can't wait to meet the faces behind these user names. It's been a long weekend' but lots of time to pack. I can't wait to fly out of here and hug my sailor. He asked for white boxers. Know how many store's I've hit for them, six. I finally found them and washed them, the dang things shrunk! Now back to the store. I remember when I had to pay more for colored or patterned boxers, and now the whites have gone the dinosaur route. I imagine they would be easier to find around the base.

Happy labor day to you. I can't wait to meet everyone as well. I am almost all packed. I think we all just are waiting for the hugs! Yup my son wanted boxers as well... I couldn't find any white ones though.
Where are you flying from?

I'm coming in from Boise, Idaho and staying at Ramada. I figure if he wanted to nap any I could go for a swim. Where are you coming in from?

We are from michigan. it is about a 4 hour drive. We were going to stay at the Ramamda and go to the meet n greet but the reviews seemed bad, so we booked at the Courtyard by Marriott. I also heard that Sarges Meet n greet was way more informative so we are going there. I hope to meet you.
