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."

Funerals, birthdays, and packing parties what a mix! I will pray that the birthday is fun, the family is comforted and the packing successful. Everyone have a great weekend. We might try to get to the Orlando packing party @ 2 if we can get all our ducks in a row.

Unfortunately have a funeral to go to - my daughters friends(also a sailor) mother lost her battle with cancer, please say a prayer for her family. I need to support this family at this time. But I do want to get involved in the future

What's in all those wonderful boxes?!
I love the idea of the blue candle at the dinner table. Glad I won't have to use it for Christmas this year, but will keep it in mind for holidays to follow. My sailor is having a ball in San Diego. He keeps his fridge stocked w/ soft drinks and lets everyone use his internet so his room is the party room since he doesn't have a roommate. I don't think he even missed being away at Thanksgiving. Somehow that makes it easier knowing he's not miserable. He says I always taught him to make his own fun where ever he is.
Hey apparently sometimes they did listen!
PIR in GL! I guess none of us will ever forget that!;)
