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."

Tomorrow we drive to Portland, Me to drop off my son at MEPS and he leaves on Tuesday for BC. As most of you have already gone through this, you know first hand how I feel.

Hi Angela! I'm really hoping you can make it on the 31st. We are going to have such a great time. I can't wait until the 31st. I hope that you aren't too far north in NH so that it will make the trip impossible for you. Here's to hoping to meet you IRL soon! Hugs.

Sooo excited! My sailor invited us to join him at Family Day on his base next Saturday. I can't wait to go. I don't know what it involves, but I'm looking forward to it regardless. In the meantime, I plan to go out and pick up a few things today. Taking advantage of tax-free week-end!! Not getting anything dramatically new and exciting, just looking for a lamp or 2 and maybe some pillows for the living room. Just something to shake things up. Seeing everything in place and the same as when Maurice was here is becoming overwhelming to me. I'm at the place of really & fully realizing he's not coming back - not ever! Still looking for a place to move to that I can easily afford on my own (the reason for not purchasing any large items since I don't know what will fit and what won't).
Have a good week-end everyone and see you in a few weeks!!

@ Sheryl: "my old MA moms"!!!! OLD?? Girl that word could get you in big, BIG trouble. Or as my brothers, turned southerners, would say "That could get you a whoopin'!" It is a good thing we love you so much! :) Very glad to hear you are feeling better. Hair cut tomorrow has to be changed to accommodate a test at the hospital. It will just be later this week. Just keep eating your protein, at least until you see the doctor. It takes a while for all those muscles that were cut to heal properly. "Nurse Donna" here! Will chat soon
