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."

While my son won't be carrying the "sticks" he did say that because of his height he is in the very back and so when they flank off and come around and have their behinds to us .... it will be HIS behind that we will now see. Needless to say, that got a nice remark from his girlfriend (we were all on the phone after BS21). Told him I thought L (his girlfriend) would appreciate that much more than I will. She said, "you betcha" !!! lol

I think this blessing is appropriate as we all travel from different destinations of the United States to finally meet as one! HooYah!!
An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.Safe travels!
