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."

Pam, Ya need to love where you work...I loved my job and worked so very hard to land it. Not even a year on the job when I had several large boxes of product fall knock me to the ground. UGH!! I never recovered from it. Being able to stay home this way was hell for the kids growing up...I would attend their school functions, be team mom etc. but boy the next 3 days a week I was Down!! Not fair. LOL It is what it is...

Judy - I was a stay at home Mom for over 7 years before going back to school and then to work. I miss those days! We do the 4 ten hour days and since the baby goes to preschool at 9:00 a.m., I have work Tues through Fri 10-8. Yuck. But I've been here for 10 years now and love the attorneys I work with, so that makes up for the long days!

Good morning, Ladies! (I guess) I'm at work, but not yet working. I work at our elementary school, 3 blocks from home, as a paraeducator. I do RtI interventions, which is a state mandated form of tutoring (with lots of paperwork!) I am also a Doula on the side. J is my oldest, 21; our only daughter is 19, and 2 more boys at 15 and 11. Never a dull moment at my house! School starts in a few, so I'll catch everyone later- have a great day!

Good morning! I'm only hoping J doesn't just pop-up in the middle of the night. He might literally knock himself out!! We're Eastern time also - suburb of Atlanta. I'm a legal assistant at a law firm in Atlanta. J is my oldest at 20. I have another son a year younger than him and a 4 year old daughter. She was our little gift from heaven and she loves her big brothers. And they have said she is never dating. Ha! I told J that if he is still in the Navy when she's 16, I'm sending her to him to raise! He had a couple of wild years in there and I have the grey hair to prove it. But the Navy has totally changed him and it's going to be interesting to see how being with the Marines is going to influence his behavior!
Have a great day everyone!

I wouldn't want too! I love Katie. She is bright,with a great head on her shoulders...she wants to travel before settling down with kids and most of All she is educated as is T!!
I was married at 21yrs. I had my first child 4 months after my 22 second Bday...She is now 27yrs and no sign of grand babies. lol
-
-
Pam, Now that T and Katie have pledged their undying love for each other...I guess I will be put on the back burner...at least behind her call. Humm
-
-
J also said that there's not much privacy so I'll be getting more texts from him than anything.
-
-
I'm not sure... I guess they probably won't be doing much sleeping in them anyway! I heard they go to the field for several days at a time.
Becky - I guess as our Sailors go further along in their Navy career, our user name's may change again! J really loves it and may just make a career out of it.

Hello Becky, I'm' pretty sure that all or most will be going home for the holidays...there is usually a skeleton crew but not to many around on the bases.
Pam, why in the world would the powers that be stick one of the tallest corpsman a bottom rack...talk about a coffin!!
