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."

Praying. One rescued crew member is confirmed dead. One crew member still missing. It was a training mission. What a grim reminder of the dangers inherent in their training. May God comfort and hold their families close. Blessings and protection over all our aviators.

Welcome CathieRenee! Happy New Year to all...so glad that many were able to enjoy their loved ones over the holidays. We had our son here for a week and it was wonderful. He was so happy to be home (and we were so happy to have him home!) and spent a good portion of the time on the couch holding his brand new niece. His siblings all came and stayed to maximize their time with him. It was just so great. We have his dog here with us for a few weeks and I know they are missing each other. She is a southern belle and does not quite know what to make of the foot of snow outside! Stay warm everyone!

They do learn valuable skills at SERE, but are glad when it is over. Like everyone, worry is my constant companion.

NFAO, my LO just completed SERE before Christmas, the week it was really cold. He said they made sure and took good care of them, insuring they were hydrated, etc. He said with the winter issue gear, warmth was not one of the concerns. His training was also in ME. He said there have been two things he's gone through with the Navy so far that have lived up to their hype - one was the centrifuge and one was SERE. He said he learned a lot and is very glad he had it.
Hang in there and keep in touch with the group here. They are all VERY helpful!
Stay warm! :-)

Had a great 2 weeks with son home from Pensacola with his twins and wife. Worried as they drove overnight last night too. But they made it, no trouble! Don't think we ever quit worrying about our kids!

Glad to know I am not the only Mom that worries all of the time.

Navy Wife....Sorry to hear that your son was burglarized, but at least no was hurt and everything is replaceable. Glad they are safe.
