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."

Did everyone have a nice weekend? I had a really nice lunch with my daughter. Talked to Stephen for around 2 hours, that was really nice. Still waiting for his orders but he is feeling better and has a doctor appointment tomorrow. He also put in for his leave and waiting to hear on that. That boy is waiting for a lot of answers hope he gets them soon. Have a great Monday!

YEA, for your daughter Tracy, I am so glad for her. I talked to my son today and was telling him what was going on. He told me that they will probably after the girls are better, see what they can do, if they can do everything that is required them to do the Navy will keep them. So good luck to your daughter. Well at lease the girls will not be lonely. LOL
Tracy we do have a great bunch of moms here, we are very lucky to have all of us.
How is your cold?
Hi ladies, going to visit Samantha tomorrow for mom and daughter lunch should be fun. Stephen still wating for his orders and he is feeling a little better with his stones, has a doctor appt. Tue., he is off this weekend. Have a great end of the day and enjoy your Sunday.
