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."

For them and all the others who have given the sacrifice there and in Afghnistan, Denise. Amen Thank you for reminding us all that there are a lot of moms who already have sailors in harm's way.

Hi Sherry, I make no promises. According to the last posts I've seen from our old PIR page her youngest has RSV so I don't know if she is even on at this time. You can check out the page for PIR 01/09/09, her name is Samara, her husband is Anthony he has been at GL since the PIR to study QM.

Sherry, I don't know any answers for you but I will see if I can hook you up with someone whose husband PIRed with my son and is there for QM school. I leave a message at her page and see if she will come over here to leave a post.

Hi Kim, I have just kind of assumed all along that they are off Monday unless they have duty that day. That's why so many parents are going this weekend I believe. I saw Chris this weekend because he has duty on Sunday and my ride back home will not be off on Monday so I would have had less time with him. I know Easter is not a Federal holiday but I'm thinking about going to see him then.

Judy, there were too many sailors around to mention turtle power. He might have given some secret warning and I might have had to fight off 30 dedicated sailors (or TMNT fans). Besides, I was so in shock that I actually found him I forgot everything I was going to say!

And in the background is the "gallopin blue goose"!

Here a pic of one IM (Intel Mom) and her IS. Actually he is only an I right now, he has to go to "C" school to get the S. I won't post the other guys unless their moms say it's ok. Judy has her pic and I have one of another IS who went with us for lunch today before we left.

Good evening ladies, Judy, your son's pic should be in your email.
I'm really tired and have a lot of reading it looks like and a couple of more pics and emails to get off so I'm making it brief tonight.
Lori, I'm sorry I did not get to meet Jake although I did mention him to Judy's Chris but I forgot and said something about him by his first name rather than his last.
Cheryl, how are you tonight? Tyler? Matt? I'll email you later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for the compliment my friend but I believe you, Judy, and I are more impressed than both of the Chris' put together. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Here Cheryl, the NAVY Lodge put tissues in the bathroom just for you. I'm sorry I've used all of yours. Chris is interested in just laying on the bed and watching TV I've got a lot to catch up on over at the IS page. They got really chatty over there today. I'm meeting one of the mom's sons tomorrow for lunch. He was to come for dinner tonight but forgot he was to go to a BBQ so he told Chris we would do lunch tomorrow. Cheryl, is Tyler ok? At least it is the weekend and he can get off base a while.

Judy, I saw your Chris today!!! It was really weird but I'll email you and tell you and I'll get his pic downloaded later tonight or tomorrow when I get home. I was a bit shy about giving him a hug but he acknowledged the invitation for dinner and said that he has duty so he had to decline. It was a good thing he was wearing his utilities so his name was on his shirt.
Lori I did not see Jake yet but I'm going to get Chris to take me back over tomorrow and see if I can get a pic of him as well.
A GOOD looking sailor there Judy! And tall!
