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."

Just called my son in Kingsville, just to hear his voice. Prayers for speedy recovery and hugs to all our Navy family. It touches all of us.

Hubs and I are feeling a bit of angst as these two incidents are a little too close for comfort. DS is close to finishing intermediate; should know his selection sometime in February. There are definitely days when we wish he had picked something a little less dangerous. Gotta just remember he is in the Lord's hands.
Praying for the families affected. And for the pilot still in the hospital.

My DS called at 5pm to tell me, which made me smile. You probably wonder why...when the chopper went down the other day and I couldn't reach him, I told him this group is 'in the know' and he'd better tell me these things before I read them if he can get to a phone. He flies Super Hornets, so made sure to call me right away today so he'd stay out of hot water.
He said the pilot ejected safely and was picked up by a fishing boat; they didn't know yet what happened with the plane.
Prayers and best wishes go out to the pilot and family.

Went this morning to the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery to pick up the wreathes from the veterans graves we put out in December. Went with two other Navy Moms (Sylvia (R) and Linda (center).

Praying for all involved. It does take one's breath away knowing that our LO's are in harm's way on a regular basis.

My LO is stationed at Virginia Beach; he said they rescued 4 of the 5 of the MH-53E crew and one is still missing. One of the rescued died after they were found. The water is about 46 degrees so please keep the prayers heading up.
