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."

About Cantigny (Rockin for the Troops).....Sorry to be so late in posting. Need to put this delicately.....my ex-MIL has been in the hospital with end-of-life care. I really feel I need to go to the funeral to support my 2 oldest kids. Well, she passed away yesterday and the funeral is Thurs. in Michigan. Didn't want to make plans with everyone and then have to bow out.
So.......I know Lauren and I are going to the concert, with Sally and Mary coming later in the afternoon/early evening. We could meet at my house and carpool or at least exchange cell# so we can find each other.
@Maltobella, Haven't forgotten about the "packing" lesson!

So sad...sort of...I will be in Michigan next weekend. I am going for some R&R. It's my mini vacation before the wedding in September.
The parade was lots of fun! And yes Pat we did stay cooler than you thanks to Michelle's SUV.
Enjoy Cantigy

Hi, Mary!!! I live in Lakeside Apartments. I had so much fun at the parade!
My son actually leaves for boot camp in 5 days! I've been crying one minute, then back to nagging him the next. He's so excited to go.
