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."

O.k. - T's Mom since I had to do a double take to make sure that was you, I updated my picture also. This was last Wed.'s graduation.
Jacqueline - I wouldn't change a thing either! Only because I know it's temporary and I'm going to be sitting here this time next week crying that I miss him.

Gosh Carol, This Great info...Thanks it sure will come in handy!!

I haven't asked Jamie yet, but when he arrives in San Diego, will transportation be provided for him to get up to the base? Or will he have to take a Taxi/shuttle?
-

LOL T's Mom!! Jamie is only 5'11", but my younger son is 6'4", so yes, we pay more for groceries than we pay for our house! Ha, ha.. It sounds like you've had to do some leg work to get him home, but it looks like everything is working out! How exciting for you and glad you have an extra day to enjoy.

Pam, I stocked my shelves and Fridge with Tristan's favorite, pretty much the same foods Jamie likes the oak BBQ steak, my homemade lasagna & enchiladas and believe it or not skillet and evvo chicken and steamed white rice. All 6"4" of him can eat like 2 men. lol He will come in to San Diego tomorrow but can't find him a cheap flight home(5 hour drive) so a friend has a son a navy seal on deployment and wanted to get his truck back home...so hubby will take the train for $50 bucks, pick up the truck then off to pick T up at the airport. Thank goodness for the Columbus Day holiday cause it gives us a long weekend with him. He has to be back to CP on Tuesday.

Jacqueline - Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I can relate on the amount of food consumed. I took Jamie to Red Lobster after A School graduation last Wed. and I swear the child ate 6 pounds of seafood! And since he's been home since Friday, we have had steak, lasagna, pizza and pulled pork. We don't eat out that much and Jamie so appreciated a home cooked meal. Although his Dad was fussing because within two days Jamie was leaving his clothes laying around the house, I just looked at my husband and told him "Jamie was home!" Amazing how they can slip right back into their old habits when they're on their home turf.

Thanks Jacqline, I'm trying to find a cheap flight from San Diego to either Las Vegas or to anywhere in our area to get Tristan home...the Navy will only pay for a flight to San Diego from GL's

Hey Jacqueline, Congratulations!! It sounds like you all had a very fun time, I'm so happy for you All.
Well, Look out Camp Pendleton...Tristan graduated today from Corpsman A school today and on his way home tomorrow for leave and will class up next week on the 13th!!

RuthVH, I'm so very happy for your cub...He must be "someone very special" to get the attention of his highest piers...GO NAVY!! I want you to know, you are blessed all the way around!!
