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."

Oh don't worry, I'll be posting!! We fly out tomorrow afternoon-we used to live 15 miles from GL and never even knew it existed. I swore I would never go back to Illinois-guess I shouldn't swear anymore. LOL! I'm hoping to meet some other ladies here but it seems like they're not on as often as I am. I lurk around 4 different sites now, shameful!!! BC for moms has been so great, and the 6-7 PIR group has been awesome, as I'm sure your PIR group is as well. If nothing else you and I can get together sometime, after PIRs. You'll be pretty busy next week as well so maybe after that? I hope some other ladies on this site sign in soon. :)

Been pretty quiet on here - how is everyone doing? College son is thinking about transferring to a small college in Oregon so we are taking a trip to Portland next week to check out the school and meet with the coach. If he does transfer it will be a 16 hour road trip instead of just 30 minutes away like he is now! :(
Sailor son is still waiting for power school to start. First they were told May 8, then June 24th and now he is hearing July 8th. Nothing official though.....
Juliebelle - how is your son doing in Power school?
Any plans for another get together?

cbc mom - I can't make the event tomorrow but I am hoping sometime in the future to attend a Blue Star meeting. Hope you all have a great time!

With Mother's Day this Sunday I thought that I would share this - I borrowed it from SoCalOhana back in January:
"I will cry without shedding tears, cringe without showing my fears, pray without moving my lips, dream always of incoming ships.....for I am the mother of a U.S.Sailor" Author Unknown
Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day and big hugs to all of you! :)

No can do on Blue Star on 5/11 ... we'll be in SA to watch our dau graduate from A school that weekend (and she leaves for her first duty station shortly there after). Sorry to all.

Hi All - gonna miss everyone at the lunch tomorrow - college son has his track championships so we will be at that.
We did make it to So. Carolina last week for sailor son's A school grad. Had a great time and it was soooo good to see him. Charleston is a lovely place to visit! He'll stay there as he waits for Power school to start....
Hope to see you all at the next gathering!
