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."

I haven't talked to Eric yet, but will see him on Tuesday. I will ask him then. I am all packed and ready to go. This is a FIRST for us. Usually we are packing an hour before we go to the airport!! Or if we are taking the bike...right before we walk out the door. So, I have been sitting here just waiting for bed time to arrive. Hope all goes well since flying isn't my favorite thing to do but it does get you there really fast. Until I get back......

I thought I heard (on the news) that he died in his room. I was working in the kitchen as the news was on, so I wouldn't trust my hearing 100%.

Robin, I think that the card idea is a good one. I don't scrap either, but maybe one of us has a idea of what to do.
Also, thanks for the info. I had heard about it on the news.
Safe trip, JJ. See you soon. ENJOY those kids!!!

Thank you Robin. (the 20th is on Tuesday, typo) Please say a prayer for me too. I will be on our way to Virginia to see my Navy hero, but I will make sure that Eric knows. I want to say that Eric knows Daniel's father. I will have to ask him when I get there.

Can't wait until then. I will be gone until the 25th of April, so anytime after that will work great. By then I will have pictures and stories to tell.

What's the date? Just about anything works for me! As long as there is food around, I'm in.

Becky and Mary, I hope that will work for you, also. Julie and JJ, are you alright with it?

Go ahead, Robin. Set it up. No one has put up another suggestion yet.

I wish that we could be in a bigger room for BSM. It felt so squished, and I really missed being able to sit by you.
Well, better get to bed. Tomorrow comes so early.
I know you are on a role here. You are doing well!!
