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."

Good Morning
So he gets to be with for a those months? I so hope so.
I had a good morning wake up call - Alex ! He was going to bed and finally had time for mommy. Funny - that is when he usually calls me - going to bed and no one bothers him and we can talk. And then I tuck in him - long distance, but I get too :)
He shared that the ship passed that inspection and how glad he was it was over. That he took his test for E5 - now comes the wait until December to see if he has passed the test . He and some shipmates are going to a Japanese baseball game and hopefully go on some more sight seeing tours. And he hopes to take another class for his job on the ship and /or set up college classes. I asked him he wrote down "to breath " on his to do list. But just hearing his voice made my morning.
Was hoping to share a word from Liz that little Zeke was able to go home this morning. Sofar - I am still waiting . but I'll blab the moment I hear :)
And we have release many of teh butterflies that hatched. We named them all Navy names - except one - it just didn't want a Navy Name There was Freedon - Justice - Liberty - USS Patriot - USS Guradian - USS Denver - Spirit - then Twitters. ALl were healthly and beautiful and could fly - except Sprit. He did not develope correctly and is grounded. Being he is not mine I cannot release him from thsi life. I am waiting to give him back to his owner, but feeding him teh best I can.
I'll share a couple of pictures Havea good day :)
Gossip back - my tank is low freinds !

Well, we are baby sitting 11 Monarch crysallis. And 2 hatched today. WE named them Freedona and Justice. Freedom didn't want to leave and Justice played hide and seek for a while. WE had to walk them out to the Maple Tree and place them there. Will have pictures of them later.
And little Zeke is doing better - he might be able to come home on Monday
Everyone have a great weekend and sweet dreams

Trina - I did not mean to be rude and make you feel I don't look forward with messages from you too. I do - have a great weekend :)
-
-
Donna - that is too long. I know you are dedicated, but you count too. I remember my parents and their long working hours for just their classes. I never had any time with them - unless it was for homework. I believe that is why I really never enjoyed school.
Please take time for yousrself too And I wish you a great weekend :)
Always looking forward to your messages

Love you Daddy
Daddy and Zeke
Little Zeke is doing better :)
