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."

Our family's thoughts and prayers are with all of you. A loss to one is a loss to us all, we are all part of the Navy family.

lou....Your more than welcome.
I know some of you may have seen me post before about unspoken rules, this is another at least between the group of mothers I am close friends with that have children serving. Some may already know this. When news like this comes, we just sit tight, pray and wait. We do not call each other and ask if they have heard from their child, nor do we call our child and ask anything. We are all going through the same process, just praying and waiting. No news is good news.
Thank you all for letting me share this little bit of information with you. I too am sitting and waiting as we have pilots that are friends on my son stationed at Lemoore.

For moms of all species of aviators! This afternoon I saw the mom (or dad?) feed the two chicks some of the fish that is on the side of the nest. Still one more egg to hatch!
The Raptor Resource Project brings you the Decorah Eagles from atop their tree at the fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa.
