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."

Chris, Yay!! Congrats for getting to see your kids. I don't blame you for not coming to the brunch/luncheon.
We had a long evening out with family and friends last night. It was wonderful to see Chris with some of his "brothers" and "sisters" from school. I so miss having the house full of that bunch! I hated saying good-bye and cried myself to sleep but he will be calling soon to say they have arrived back safely. What more can I ask? I know this time I likely won't see them in person for 2 years, so it makes it really hard he has actually spent the majority of his time with his in-laws. (He feels obligated to stay close to his wife with morning sickness all day). I won't get to meet my grandbaby until he/she is almost 18 mos. old. :-(
I'm looking forward to meeting those who attend this weekend, and sorry we are not able to meet the ones who can't this time. I do look forward to meet everyone eventually though. I'll see you all on Saturday and Happy Easter to all the Moms and families.

Triad Moms-I have great news and bad news--the bad news is I will not make the luncheon this saturday :( due to the great news of my kids (my sailor and daughter) decided to come home this weekend so we could see everyone instead of just visiting one another! They will only be here about 36 hours, so I hate to take away from that.
I'll make the next one! free every weekend except April 6 and Memorial Day weekend.

Hi, Ginny. Hope you can make it (your friend, too, if she's not in Norfolk).
Looks like Japan will be well represented!

Yes, battlebuddy, we'll miss you, but I'd definitely want to be with my child, too. We'll try to do these every few months so everyone can make it sometime.

Battlebuddy, I'd be with my daughter too! She's 22, going on 35, and I love our friendship, but miss her being around! Enjoy your time, as she will leave soon enough! We'll have many of these I'm sure.

Catching up.....things have been hectic but they are finally getting back to a semi normal pace....for now. My son is stationed in Japan also, in Sasebo. I visited him last year in July for a couple of weeks. It's amazingly beautiful there. He has been out to sea since Jan. 15th and I have only talked to him once, on Feb. 21st. I am starting to get a little stir crazy. My grandmother is finally out of the hospital/nursing home but it is alot more now that she is home on me, my mom and sister. Thank goodnes for home health care! I hope that we can do a quarterly meeting, I would love to meet you all, but with Olivia making the honors band (she plays the sax) as her overprotective mother, I feel like I need to go with her. :( So I will have to miss it this time.....

I'm trying to figure out a way to be there, my daughter made Honor's Band and is going out of town with the band on Friday till Sunday (Really this is Easter Weekend!) , and I want to be both places.......but I can't.
