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."

Thanks Suzi....Ryan had already shared with me the TACAMO link and said it had some detail for VQ-4. I too try to find any info for Navy in OK. I was happy to see the Obudsman contact info available on CafeMom :-)

Well...it' doesn't look super active, but it's another possibility. I am always looking for more ways to find moms with Navy in OK. There is a Facebook group, but it is not active at all.

What did your sailors do over the holiday weekend? Mine spent some time on a lake probably with L, Suzi. He has bought a bicycle and has been finding trails to ride. He really wants his motorcycle out there but getting it out there is a problem. Having lived in Tulsa in the past, I understand the heat out there so I am sure bike riding on the trail is hot these days!

Talked to Ryan today and he seems to be in better spirits. He was frustrated since his sponsor assigned to him never contacted him or re-assigned the sponsorship before he left for leave. Ryan has been adjusting to Tinker all on his own, you go BOY!! But today he was assigned another sponsor that helped him finalize all his indoc processing and showed him the ropes. YAY for newly assigned sponsor :-)
I finally got a mailing address to send off a care package!!
