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."

Uli thanks for the information on corpsman school. Erik is in his 12th week so when he passed then has the 2 weeks training then will go down to Camp LeJuene in North Carolina for FMTB in August. He graduates May 14th, can't wait to see him and hoping he asks for his 2 weeks off to come home.

Diego is one step closer to high school graduation. Tonight is their *Prom* and they looked awesome! He wore a white tux and that color will suit him wonderfully!! His girlfriend wore a long purple dress and they make a great couple. This means that graduation is just around the corner and September is that much closer.

Ruth VH, your son definitely is in the right place doing the right thing. It sounds AWESOME. So proud!!! As for your thoughts and prayers for my kids & me, THANK YOU! It really is tough not being able to do anything. Have to let them live their lives and make their own mistakes. No matter how tough it is.
Uli, THANK YOU! I sometimes wish my DIL was on a Military Base living, but she is living at home with her father in Ohio. Allen is in Michigan right now while she is in Ohio and that isn't a good thing. I think they need to be together, but can't force the kids to do what I think is the right thing. When our kids are little, their troubles are little. When our kids are big, their troubles are big. This is something I was really praying wouldn't happen, but I know God is in control and will work it out.
Can't wait to be in Michigan so that I can get together with all you WONDERFUL ladies!!!

It is so good to hear all the good things happening for all you and your children. I am so proud of them all. My Allen is shipping out May 4, 2010 for D.G. and his wife and he are having marital problems. Plus she is expecting my 5th grandchild in September. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!

Thank you, Uli & Ruth VH! No, my DIL is going to be living in Ohio with her father while Allen is at D.G. It isn't that far to drive for a visit though so will be doing so often. I will try to bring beautiful weather with me, Ruth VH, but you know how Michigan weather is...lol! I hear it has been pretty warm and nice up there lately. Hope it stays. Also, praying for my SIL (Air Force) who is deployed to Afghanistan right now. He is on his 3rd trip there and will be there until August atleast. Praying for my daughter and granddaughters in Arkansas while he is gone. Thank you all!

I got the banner for when Katie came home at Christmas and had a card that fits perfectly on my front door that I leave up all the time.
