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."

My son as well. I will keep your son in my thought and prayers. I don't know about you but I am having a hard time adjusting to this new world. He was my youngest, so my husband and I feel the emptiness in the house. Even the animals are confused, but knowing there are others of us our there doing the same thing helps. Sending hugs!

I’m so sorry! I’ve had that empty feeling before. My son is a little older and has been gone from home for a few years. I went through that when he left. I remember it well. I can tell you that you’re going to make it. One thing you should do is focus on reconnecting with your husband. It’s your time to be together again. You’ll find that you will soon remember why you fell in love and your focus will return to each other.
And that is a very good thing because you will find that your son is about to become very mature and independent. It’s amazing how fast it happens. You are right to be very proud.
It took me a while to start getting my life back together and find my own hobbies.
I’m excited about going to Chicago in July. Will you be able to go?

My husband and I went to Chicago for the first time this year to visit and we had a blast. I don't know how much time we'll get to spend with our sailors but I'm still looking forward to it. Can we say where we are from? I guess I should review the rules again.

Trish, You can friend each other and send PM's, but saying where you are from is fine. (Yes, it is a good thing to check before posting when you are not sure.)
You will have from about 10:30 am when Liberty is called until sometime that evening with your new Sailor and then you will meet him at the airport sometime in the wee hours the next day and give him a few things before he flies out. There is info on how to plan your weekend in the info I left on your My Page about the MT rating earlier this week.

Thank you for your kind words. You are so right, you go from falling in love to having kids and all of your activities and discussions surround them.....then all of a sudden you are here. We are actually going away this weekend just to re-coup. I will definitely be there in June. I would not miss this for the world!!
