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."

@Kathy, Congrataulations!!! We planned Kelsey and Diego's wedding in a short seven weeks. He didn't officially ask her until we went to Chicago for his PIR in November. It was done through letters before that and Kelsey knew what she wanted and we made it happen. It was beautiful and we had a great time. Simple and elegant, I have some photos on my page. I made the cake, cupcakes and all the chocolates for the reception. Wishing you best of luck with all the planning and the special occasion!!!

Congratulations Kathy. The next 4 months are going to be an emotional rollercoaster ride! At least with the wedding in CA you know there won't be any snow, sleet or freezing rain to deal with.
