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."

P-Bear's Mom, I know what your feeling about the "hell" our corpsman are experiencing right now, but we have to remember that they have learned how to balance there time and right now it's "putting one foot in front of the other". It's only one more day before the weekend...Your young one has a whole platoon full of buddies who will make sure he gets through it...One more day Mama!!

Chief. Hearing from your corpsman is a wonderful thing even at 3am...good news I hope, I mean all is well?!
Cheryl, That is a super score a 96 wow...someone had time to study!! Yah
Becky, I'm sure we will hear from your J and my T this weekend. Tuesday night I didn't hear from T the usual way...either text or by phone. So yesterday I checked my FB cause I hadn't been there for awhile and guess what I found...A message from T it went something like this" Hey Mom, I just wanted you to know I think that your the best mom a sailor could have. Without the support of you and Dad, I don't think I could do the whole Navy thing. I love and respect you so much". I was floored and did the Navy Happy Dance all morning!!

Good grades are all around, it sounds like! Fantastic!! I haven't heard from my J, but I'd told him not to worry about getting in touch until the weekend. I keep sending him texts asking questions, so I hope I remember to ask again when he calls.

I'll second that Phew!! They got done early today, but J had duty.

Pam, passing score is a 80...I know!!, so your cub is safe. T text this afternoon that he passed the test with a 90 score. I could here the ....Whew!! in his voice, cause he hasn't had to much time to study...

85 on his first test. Is that a good score? I got it by text, so I'm not sure if he liked it or not!

I hadn't even thought about Thanksgiving! It's a given that J won't be able to come home. I just hate the thought of him bumming around base for 4 days. Hopefully he'll have duty so others can go home. I started listening to Christmas music today (a little nuts, huh?). Had to skip past "I'll be home for Christmas", because it was making me cry already!

That's awful Chief! I burned through 6 weeks of vacation this year with Jamie's two graduations, a wedding and vacation. Come on January so I can get it all back! I have four days of vacation, but can't justify spending the money since I went to A School grad just a couple weeks ago. Who knows though, I may just decide to head over there for a weekend!
Thanks JLC. And congratulations on your son reaching Test 12. He should be very proud of his accomplishment.
