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."

Brandy, Allen is doing good. He is still stuck in Virginia Beach, because the Navy informed him that they had no money for him as of yet. He is hoping for January to go. He has a new girlfriend and has informed me that he plans on marrying her. That is scary for me because Allen doesn't get that emotional over anything and he has only known this girl for 3 months. I hope and pray for the best. I haven't met her only on facebook and myspace, but she seems very nice and is taking very good care of my son. We will see. I hope you hear from Chris soon. Your are always in my thoughts and prayers. I am still looking for a job in Florida. Haven't had any luck as of yet, but know that God has His plans and timing and that something will be coming soon. Take care!

Great to hear! You wouldn't want to celebrate that alone;)

Brandy, thank you for the update on Chris. I will continue to keep him & you in my prayers. Hang in there, it will all work out as it should. We have a hard time being patient and waiting for the right timing. I know how difficult that is. I am waiting to hear from Allen that he got his hard copy/written orders (not just verbal) that he is going to be going to San Antonio at the end of October for Dog Handler training school starting Nov 2. The Navy has it's own time and schedule and it makes it very difficult on those of us who want answers NOW.

Brandy, that is upsetting about the available jobs for Chris. If he considers any other branch I would suggest the Air Force. My SIL, Luke has been in for 10 yrs and is making it a career. My daughter, Ali and the family LOVE the AF.
