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."

So I haven't been on in a while. I have been dealing with the holidays, family, finalizing things for work before I move, tons of stuff! Well, anyways thought I would come on and say hi to everyone. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I am getting everything ready to move just outside of CP! I am so excited to be near my BF! Everything is coming together slowly but surely. Now I just have to finish packing, which of course is a big task of it own. I leave on Tuesday and will be there Wednesday! I can't wait to see him on Wednesday!! So I am not sure how often I will be on in the next bit, or if I will have the internet in the new place for a while. So until next time, I hope all of your days are wonderful!!

That is so cool Pam! It really is something to hear in your cubs voice that he is apart of something bigger than himself; T mentioned the same thing about McPon.
T set out on his way to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving, As I was talking to him while he was driving he was stuck in traffic going about 48 miles in 2 hours; the newsman came on and said the 5 top destinations on the west coast is...#1 was Las Vegas...go figure! Haha we laughed !!

Rain and cold Judy? J told me earlier it's gotten pretty cold in sunny Cali! J said MCPON is a really decent guy and he even asked if there was anyone from GA and J and a couple other one's raised their hand.

Good Evening All, Lots of chatter today. I got stuck in an accident on the 101 today as I was out and about, same as last night when I started shopping for turkey day...boy 21 accidents in a 25 mile radius, we don't get much rain but lately tons...people forget how to drive.Golly Geese!!
Ruth, so happy for your cub but so sorry he didn't get it from McPon.
Happy Birthday to J!! So glad he is feeling better!! Oh, sorry he has duty at the time of the game!!

BTW - J got his box that I sent him for his birthday today. For once I didn't send any cookies or brownies because he had been sick. I had to laugh because he said everyone was disappointed when he opened the package although he was the one that told me not to send anymore brownies because whenever someone gets a brown box, they get attacked. So....... I'm feeling a baking frenzy coming on!! Well, maybe a small one anyway.

JLC - what a way to start his time at Camp P!! I have liked MCPON on Facebook and seen a few pictures.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! J has duty during high football time. Welcome to the military!!

Holy Smokes! I'm new to the Navy lingo and didn't know MPCON meant Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. Yes, I had to google it. ;) Again, I'm in school all over again, but WOW that's awesome. I have read his bio and probably don't have to tell my son to read up on it, but he's also from GA! And my son is such a cheese that he would be one to smile at the camera. I can't wait!! I know he has duty so he'll definately be on base.

Wow - pig lab sounds interesting indeed. They filmed a documentary here one time of a car accident with alchohol involved using teens. Nasty and very graphic.
Special guest?? I'm excited to here. J has duty on Thanksgiving so he couldnt' do the adopt a sailor program. He did say they are having a "feast" at the dining hall. Thank goodness his apetite is back!

It's like Jaqueline said - we're all in school, learning as we go! What is pig lab? I'm thinking a nice big ham sandwich! LOL!
Got a text from my son and he said that his food poisening and reaction to the flu shot is pretty much over. He said it was the wierdest thing! I'm just glad he's feeling better.
