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."

Donna- after PIR in the hotel my son and i were discussing the difference between ATO and ATI....i used the same explanation...inside outside...he smiled real big at me and said "yeah mom that works"....golly i have tears in my eyes right now...it just seemed like yesterday we were in GL and now the time he has looked forward to has come...i am such a sappy dope tonight...he would KILL me!!!!
with you and Sherrill coming back to our AT group today means so much to me....transitioning is not my thing but with your help and my good buddies here by cracky this momma can do it!!!!

ooooooooooooh Donna....where have you been all my life? gonna pick your brain clean!!! hehehe so where is Hunter now? "forward deployed" ???? what's that? i am hoping that some time in the near future LIKE TOMORROW he will settle down and give me more details. he says he will be doing CASS...some big box that tells you stuff is broke? that's me...paraphrasing
-
-
hey thanks Sherrill. i just got off the phone with him and while he has only had a few moments to actually look at the orders you are confirming what i was suspecting. oh he is verrry happy! he's a little frustrated with me not understanding....so what's new with that? hehehehe i did ask him to confirm about the George...and yep i did get that part right!!! woo hoo i hope your son will show my son all the ropes!!!
-
-
well now it seems i am more confused...trying to reach him...why do young people NEVER answer their dern phones???? the George's homeport is Japan i am hearing....so what's this about Norfolk? stay tuned.
Cindy-Lawd Have Mercy yes i am steering clear and not poking my nose into any of the business of the Man from the Foreign Land!!! btw the escaped murderers were sent back to Louisiana today to face the "music" there...good riddance!
will be doing my natural highlights tomorrow!!!

this is INSANE...i was merely "wondering" about his set of orders out of A school...he hasn't even finished...he grads 4-22 HE GOT ORDERS TODAY and he is very very pleased. he is ROCKIN' A school on the grades!!!! i haven't posted much about him personally (grades and stuff) as he is a very private young man....i can't help myself!!!
Oceana 5-14 for C school
and forgot to write down the date for Norfolk USS Geo. Washington....he says Sea Duty...when he left here he said if he could request sea duty as his first duty he would...i really don't fully understand all that he told me before he left....going squadron....sea duty then he said he would like OK....but whatever...he is verrrry pleased.
plus we have family close by to Norfolk in Williamsburg, VA

marine_navy-that link is awesome!!! the pictures of our Navy helping the people of Japan!!! hope the momma of the Sailor Girl in picture #2 sees it!!! WOW!!!!

i know marine_navy---i am kinda glad we figured it out....i didn't like the looks of things when that man moved in...not because he was from a foreign land...it was strange "comings and goings" i saw.
well i still have Mr. Creepy next door to deal with...
glad to know your son's buds are ok !!!!!

fyi "the Man from a foreign land"...a couple of years ago a doctor in our community tried to kill another doctor in a neighboring town. he planted a bomb under the good doctor's car...thankfully the good doctor survived. the bad doctor was from a foreign land AND he was a weapons dealer...big big guns and lots of them. the good doctor was instrumental in getting the bad doctor's medical license revolked on an entirely different matter so the bad doctor tried to blow the good doctor to smithereens.
don't know if there is a connection from the bad doctor to the neighbor being watched....they are from the same foreign land where they like to buy big big guns.
sooooo i think a shoot out is still possible...i'm staying inside...i'm not going ANY WHERE near the man from the foreign land!!! i'll go another way to avoid his house!!!
