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."

Linda, so glad that you came today. I had forgotten all about that yard sign. I made that myself and we put it up when he came home after bootcamp and then when he came home after he graduated A school.

Hey ladies, it was great to meet you, help our sailors and learn more of "what I'm in for." I certainly appreciate just talking to you, gleening information and I'm getting some great ideas from you already.
Shirley, thank you for all the organization, etc.
Jody I love the Yard sign idea (in your photos).!
T, I look forward to meeting you at the next one!

Terry: you take care of yourself. we sure miss you! nah, all is well with Justin. to us, it sounds like he has it so much better on deployment than he did on his home base in WA. God bless you

Shirley: thanks. you didn't hear me talking to Becky and Mary. Justin sounds so terribly happy and excited to be where he's at in the middle east. it's all so very opposite of what we thought it'd be. he loves it. he's the only IT of about 20,000 people. they just gave him a truck last week. his sleeping quarters are nice: he's in an actual building not a tent city as we'd expected and he only has 1 roommate. he's called twice since he's been gone and guess he's gonna call tomorrow because he missed me yesterday when he called. wondering why I had so many tears now. still miss him and not being able to call him when we want but the time will prob go fast for him.

oh gosh....(getting forgetful here).....if anybody can please post on here the group picture so I can try to get it to post to my facebook. I took my camera and we never got it out for pictures.

yes, it was so nice seeing everyone. can you believe how large our group has grown in the 1 1/2 yrs since we've been doing this?
I immediately went to the post office to mail my boxes. do you want those forms back?
I forgot to mention: if anybody is interested tomorrow our church, Fellowship at Conway, is having a Captain of the military (not sure what branch) speak. since I broke down (due to Justin's deploying) Sunday before last they wanted to see if I could come so he could speak with me. I skipped last weeks service because of Memorial Day and being too fresh for me. if you'd like to go services are 9:45am, 11:15am (that's the one I go to) and 6pm. and if you do think you'll go please let me know so I can watch for you.
