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."

My boy texted last night...I think he was a bit irritated cuz I put out an "APB" on him! Thanx Ms Ampi for playing go~between.I apologized for 'smothering him' and that I would lighten up but explained that worrying is a 'mom thing'...geez ya think he'd know THAT about me by now.
I'm feeling MUCH better ;D

Hi Ladies, glad to see that alot of us are regaining communication with our Sailors. Is'nt it wonderful to be able to talk, text and facebook with them once again. Life is slowly returning to normal, a new normal but an awesome normal! My C and 5 others reached their destination of Meridian Mississippi last night around 9pm central time. He bought a disposable cell phone at O'Hare as soon as he got there and we were able to talk with him off and on all day and evening. Prayers for all our Sailors on this next chapter of their journey, and for all you amazing ladies!

i have had a lot of access to my son. He is sounding back to normal and really enjoying his freedoms. Even joking around with me again! LOL Glad that you guys have been getting more contact and info, its great that your kids all know one another and somewhere along the line messages get through. Im fully recovered from the traveling and excitment and trying to think about getting my school brain going. I go back the 24th. Im not dreading it so that helps my attitude a lot! Where in the world is mamaG??

Hey everybody! We drove so we got home last night...What a wild ride!! I had so much fun at ther Meet and Greet...I dragged my daughter-in-law to it but guess what?....she loved it and met a young girl who's husband is doing the same thing and they both have infant daughters...I think I'm swaying her my way in that she should join such great support groups as N4M! Anyway, I have a plea...none of my photos came out of our group (ship 4 div 802)...my wonderful, not so savvy photographer husband thought he was doing a good thing but didn't..I don't have any clear shots of our boys walking in....walking through...or standing tall!! I have so many family members who want to see first hand NOW and then view the video when it comes in.,.If anyone has anything of our group, please share with me..I would be forever grateful...my email address is kimberlipatterson61@yahoo.com.. :)
