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."

Congratulations, Annie! Isn’t it great to have him home?
Hi, everyone. I’m here in the Archdale/Trinity area (near High Point), and our Navy son just drove in tonight from Goose Creek. He plans to be here through Sunday, and this is a special visit for us, too, because we found out he starts Prototype on December 16, so he can’t come home for Christmas. This may be our last in-person visit for a long time, so of course I’m going to savor every moment!

I am very sad to say that I can't attend the get-together. That is right when our choir rehearsal starts for our special music that Sunday. I have to be there. Everyone have fun. Maybe I'll get there next time.

Hi everyone, I am in the Greensboro area, and I would love to meet some fellow Navy Moms. My son is stationed in Sasebo Japan, and has been there since 5/1/2011. Thankfully he is coming home for a short visit 12/30/2011. =) It seems that several of you are very close to GSO, so if you do set up a meeting I would love to come and meet you all! =)

Thanks motheroftwo - I will check the discussions. I am not very mobile right now - while my son was home between A school and Japan, I broke my femur! (Playing frisbee with our dog - he ran into me going for the frisbee and the impact broke it.) Since my son just finished as a Hospital Corpsman, he was able to splint it so I could get to the hospital. After surgery with a plate and screws 4 weeks ago, I still can't put weight on my leg and can't drive. My husband is waiting on me - I can hobble pretty well on my one leg, but have a lot of limitations. The worst part was I couldn't do everything I wanted to do for my son while he was here, but managed to still cook and bake a few of his favorites with some help.
Anyway, I will keep an eye out for any meetings - and maybe by that time I will be getting around easier!
