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."

OMG, Our cubs are sweltering in this heat...It's in the High Ninety's today in California!! I too am hoping for good news about the test this week. My cub through a chit in and it will be approved unless he doesn't pass this test..Yuck!!
It's good to know that our cubs survived last weeks test; I'm stressing, and then I pray that our cubs can get use to carrying that large load on their backs!!
Ruth, Rick has been out of town. I was told by my husband that he went to Hawaii and then went out of town on business; I will have him contacted, tracked down and corner him for that information for you're son; I sure would like that situation come together!!

Wow - SARC is something to proud of! I just read up a little myself on that since I didn't know what it was. J said they were headed to the field sometime this week and he was soo looking forward to it. He sent me a picture of his "bag" all ready. All I can say is I'm glad that's not on my back.
Although my husband was in the Army when we were first married (he got out when J was only 3 months old) this is all new to our son. He's seen my husband's old uniforms and whatnot, but for some reason I don't think my husband ever brought up specific things he went through. He spent a year in Korea and has talked about that, but not too much on uniforms and going to the field. Men just don't like to talk like us women!
Jacqueline - Good luck to your son! Another chapter has started for him and I'm sure you can't wait to see the next page turn!!

Great Post Election Day to Everybody!! I to have been off the radar the past couple days; been setting up for the election polls on Monday. I worked the polls All day Tuesday for the Red Cross, we work for free and the Red Cross gets the well deserved monies!! I hope everyone got out to Vote in their precincts/parishes this voting period?!
Chief, that was a good score, but the next test is Grueling!! T said they got their issued rifles this week and that having field duty the next couple days will make it that much harder to to get his last score of 94 and anybody who doesn't pass test 3 will not have liberty(keeping fingers crossed, and toes and pray real hard) that All Corpsman excel this week!!
Jacqueline, You let your cub know that we are so Proud of his success & Accomplishments...Please keep posting as I use all you Moms success stories when talking to T and giving him inspiration!!
Carol, Please let C know that we appreciate his contribution to his fellow Corpsman...Thanks a Million!!

Thanks Ruth. He'll be able to spend Christmas at home, but then he's off to Italy for two years. I'm so excited for him but I still miss him like mad. He called yesterday and was at the laundromat with two other guys. One of his shipmates from TN has his vehicle and they made an afternoon of doing all of their laundry at once. For some reason that strikes me as funny! I can only imagine three young Sailors in a laundromat! I bet that place will never be the same!! He seemed in a pretty good mood and did say that he has Phase IV liberty now. No more late night musters. Just early mornings. I had to laugh because he said it is COLD standing outside doing muster.

J got his box. He told me not to send anymore brownies because he gets attacked whenever he gets a box from home! LOL - ALL of the guys he went to A School know what's in his boxes!! So, yes they can get packages, but they may need more than normal to share!

Thanks! This will be our first holiday without J home. Feeling the sadness in the pit of my stomach. I know it's perfectly normal, but darn, do they have to grow up so fast?

Ruth, I am getting that information on the room for rent with those really nice young adults in San Diego. My friend Rick has been out of town so I'm trying to reach him via Facebook.

Good Morning Happy Sunday! Well T has duty Thanksgiving weekend. I'm sure the navy will serve Thanksgiving Dinner, probably on Thursday. Looks like most of all the Corpsman went into San Diego this weekend; I think they needed to destress for awhile!!
