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."

stlgrl Hope you are ready for when they open those doors and let our sailors in! It's an exciting moment. It's been 5 years for us, yet that heart gets so filled when you see them in their new Navy family.

Hello Jennifer. If anyone has a BUDS or Seal, they may not answer except by private messages, due to the job their sailor has. However, there are other Navy families in the area. I'm maybe 40 minutes from St. Charles (depending upon road work, right?) I'm over in Troy, IL. Let me know if I can help.

Well my daughter and her hubby have left LeMoor and are now at Great Lakes. She is going to be an instructor at boot. That will have to wait for a few months now though, she's pregnant! I'm so over the moon about being a gramma lol. In June she'll be celebrating 9 years in the navy and I'm so happy she's closer now. It's made this yucky spring so much better!

Reading through these posts I note that the one thing they have in common is transitions..... home to RTC, A school to duty stations, home port to deployment, one state to another, kids at home to empty nesting. Reminds me of the saying that the only constant in life is change. Here's to our sailors, and to us, that we all sail smoothly through our transitions.
Glad to hear from all of you. Still waiting for others--you know who you are! Chime in!
