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."

HI A :)
Please tell son - get new phone in Japan at the bases NEX. Our phones do not work in Japan. Get his International calling with Verizon on military hold or canceled. My son uses Skype to communicate .
Come join the Japan Navy Moms too. there you will find a Discussion all about cell phones and meet some moms with sailors at the same base. I bet you meet one or two with sailors on the same ship.
Welcome :) And I am glad you got to visit with him. My son has been over there for along while. He is stationed in Sasebo.
Talk soon :)

HI :)
So glad to hear from you !
Yes - isn't she a "Cutie Pattootie" . ( I have heard that word and finally seen it in print)
Yes - know the outnumber bit Donna. So having little Ella in our lives is fun.
Wow - you ride with the Patriot Guards - what an honor and how fun. What is your bike?
How are your sailors? Mine was able to send 5 sentences on FB. He is very happy I had an ALL Girl day with Aunt JoJo . That our weather is nice. He and the ship are stressed. Another inspection soon. And he is still waiting to see if he has been accepted for anew rate. And that typhoon that was suppose to hit his base - didn't so he didn't have any storm to watch and be in. He likes storms.
Now I know I wrote more than 5 sentences, but he is better at words and putting it to a point.
I did suggest he might consider finding out if the Navy has any jobs dealing with weather - he likes it so much.
Well, cool day here - feels like beginning of Autumn. Only 58 or 60 degrees, so I DO have my windows open.
Hubby coming home early today to finish mowing the half of the back yard and to take my car BACK to the shop. That"Security " Light is back on.
Wish all a good week and check in again please :) hugs

Hi
Getting better now and not itching :)
Glad to know you are happy with this year and looking forward to next. Fingers crossed that you receive the tes scores you want.
This week will be trying though. ON Saturday received a call - God Daughter was in ICU and not expected to live. Please come to say goodby. Then Sunday morning she was removed from the vent and passed away. Only 30 years old.
But at least the weather is nicer.
Wish you a great week Hugs
