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."

T-Lynn,
Hope you hear from your son very soon. I was so worried about my son and with no news from him, my mind wandered to some dark, worry places. Now that I've had those first letters, waiting for the next ones is so much easier.
I like to watch the SuperBowl, but don't usually pick one team over the other, but just for you, "Go, Packers!"

HI Friends :)
Well, after two days of digging out - we can get out!
But is it bone cold out there. Today is sunny and bright. Birds are eating and still singing songs of Srping So I believe Spring will be here sooner than later.
Great news - you both heard from you sailros !!!!! Cross your fingers from me that i wll hear from mine.
Trying to get myself motivate to finish small tasks, but I am finding every excuse not to - like being on the computer :)
Havea good weeekend - hey it is Super Bowl tomorrow. I say Packers - what's your thoughts? And my hubby calls it Commercial Bowl.

Double-WOW! What a lot of snow!
I finally received mail from my son yesterday! I was thrilled and so happy! He wrote that he knows that joining the Navy was the right choice. He's made some good buddies and is coping well with all aspects of BC.
