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."

Ring Boy is Clark age 18 months He did a real job - didn't throw teh pillow at all , he hugged it and put it on his head. The two little flower girls Madison and Ella stole the show! they loved each other. During the ceremony at the alter - they realized they still had petals in their baskets so they dumped them all out at the alter and then played in them.

Congrats Donna to your son on his wedding. My oldest was just married on Sept 25th. My sailor just made it time to be the best man. And sailor too just announced he has a sweetie too. I am coming down from all the emotions and work. I helped to decorate and un decorate for the wedding. Plus I beaded her veil - the ring pillow and her garter. This weekend - I am hibernating.
Good to hear from you
How is everyone else?
Wish you a good day hugs

My fiance is in school to be a MN and I have a few questions that I am hoping to get answers to! He is in A school in GL then headed to P. Loma in a few months and he should be there until February. I am trying to plan our wedding for the end of December, with the hopes that we will be married before he receives his orders in C school. Does anyone know at one point during C school they receive the orders and also whether mineman in P. Loma have time off during the holidays? Any information would be very helpful for me!
