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 just lost my whole post..I just wanted to say that I am glad that the USO was taking such good care of him. And his Mom and girlfriend so they could spend as much time together as possible.

Well my grandson is stuck in Phoenix. He was suppose to fly out this morning. They not only have flights all over stranded because of the weather but there was a mechanical problem on his plane. So after we found out he can charge his phone and hang out in the USO at the airport then the airline gave him vouchers for him and his step mom and girlfriend to go stay in a hotel and have something to eat and he will fly out hopefully tomorrow. He is cutting it close but nothing you can do about that now. I am so grateful to know he is being taken care of nicely and I had no idea that the USO had such wonderful help at the airport!! My niece who is married to a carrier Army man told us about it.

Thank you! So am I.

Glad your grandson made it safely.

My grandson also left yesterday. In fact, while he was waiting for his plane here, the weather in New York City (which is where he was going for his connecting flight) was supposed to be getting hit hard. However, thankfully, when he got there he said the weather wasn't too bad. The plane left on time and he had no problems getting back to South Carolina! Today it's 2 degrees here, so he just missed the really cold weather too! :)

Harleygigi....I still call mine "my little Munchkin"...and he also tolerates it....ha. He called MY mother GiGi (for Great Grandma).....oh, how she loved that boy and he....her.

How can any grandma not be proud of their grand babies. As everyone can see I still call him Gigi's baby and you know it doesn't bother him in the least. He has lived most of his life with us and now he thinks it's up to him to make sure Gigi is ok. He's one in a few, all grown up but yet my baby.

My grandson will graduate January 10th in Great Lakes. He is my only grandchild and it has been so hard. I am so proud of him.
