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."

I saw my sailor this weekend! He starts school today! He looked and sounded so grown up!
Here is the info on volunteering for USO. I just filled out the form and then they emailed me a training date.

Navy Duck update...
Lanskys special "duck store" - Lucky Duck is willing to ship us ducks. They are $8.25 each. They currently have two in stock but could order more for any crazy navy moms...I am working on a couple other online options which look alot cheaper...I will keep you all posted.

I will call them and see if we can have an order shipped. I am sure we can. My son classed up today! He starts his corpseman school at Great Lakes. I get to see him tomorrow for half a day - he spening the other half with dad. I have decided to volunteer with the USO at Navy Pier. They sent me an email yesterday that I have my volunteer training in two Saturdays. Should be fun! Anyone want to join me? I put myself down Sunday once a month.
