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."

Hello Everyone,
I am new here but have been a Navy Mom since my daughter joined in 2010. My son landed in Yokosuka in early Sept. He is loving Japan. I look forward to getting to know all of you through my sons adventure.

I am leaning toward the silly one. It is so him. It is a three grandson mug and the other two are their college grad pics. Maybe I should pick the serious one.
Congrats on the grandson.

HI
Love the poses ! So which one are you putting on the cup?
A new camper!!!! How fun and congrats on the champs!
I don't think the word - slow down is in the Blondie family dictionary.
Gossip - aka many forms of communications ( letters - pictures - hugs- information - and DETAILED messages ) placed on Navy for Moms in order for Navy Moms to keep their sanity with children in the Navy! Like the kitty's name even more now .
Been busy here - worked at Scout Air Camp yesterday. The council took over the airport - just about 5000 estimated there. Honest - I feel cub scouted out.
Only gossip I have to share - Its a Boy! Kids had one of those sona grams done - where you get a picture. Well, no doughs about it - a boy. Healthy and growing like a weed. He will arrive in 4 more months.
Need to get along - STILL dry walling. that is becoming a very bad two words for me hugs ALL
