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."

Jody, they met as Navy moms...very cool indeed...As Jen and Terry have become real tite friends also...I know...you never know who in life you will meet..It is truly amazing, so never stop opening your heart to new friends and new ideas you will never know how big your heart can truly become.
For those that did take boxes yesterday, there was some info missing off the addy, so please contact me...I think it should be o.k. but if you haven't mail yet..contact me or Shirley and we will direct you
Also, you all must give tons of credit to Shirley, she is a serious force....love ya Shirley! ♥

Diane, wow, really Ingrid and Becky are roomies? did they meet in N4M or were they friends before N4M? if they met in N4M that is fantastic... it should speak volumes of the tight group we've become. I do agree, it is great to have new moms (and dads) but would love to have our oldies return along with them too.

JnRene, congratulations..WHOOHOO!!! Jody, I agree...NO, we don't need the receipt for a record...LOL...and as far as shipping goes...I have paid for some..but not too much..You guys have always been great...I love the fact that "TAKE A BOX"...I was getting tired of slugging all those boxes...It is/was a BIG job and the looks I would get from the people in the Post Office....just made for a very long line! LOL...
Donna, don't feel as though you need have $ to come...We volunteer, that's all...if you can't take a box that is fine...We always work it out...We are a great group of girls...come out and meet us sometimes
OH JODY, just remembered...Ingrid and Becky are now roomys...geez...Becky could not get your name out AND I also miss them!!! But I also love NEW MOMs we are just getting bigger and better and a serious FORCE! LOL ♥

Thanks everyone! I am all packed and cant wait to get on that plane wednesday!! Jaime is staying at Great Lakes for 33 weeks of A school. He will be an ET. His division won the CNO Gold award!!! I'm so very proud of him and just can't wait to see him.....

wow, Shirley, you are on your game-posting that picture so quickly. we'll get ours loaded sometime soon.
Diane and Shirley thank you so much. today's packing went wonderfully! I vote we do 2 things that we did today: 1. stay at Einsteins because they treat us so very well ;) 2. each time have us take boxes to ship, that is just too much on you, Diane, to do by yourself and this way we don't have chip in shipping money.
now, Diane, my question is all this time have you been paying shipping for most of those boxes yourself? I hope not!
my 2 boxes are shipped, dropped them at Tradeport on the way home. do you need the invoices for record?
Alyssa and I had fun but we do miss our oldies (originals): Ingrid, Becky, Mary, Pam, etc. where are you gals?

congratulations JnRene. wasn't that call just the best! wait til you see him at PIR then you'll really see and feel the pride bursting out of every crevice.
