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."

Carolina Tarheel,
Your description of the doors opening and the sailors marching in brought back so many memories for me even after a year and 1/2. It brought goose bumps to me!!!
And Martyzmom,
I didn't know about this website until my daughter came home after A school. But she had ordered the video and the individual pictures so we did get to watch the video. I never saw where she was standing in her division but in the video I saw that she was in the front column when they marched by.
byw - it's called a Drill Hall!!! :)

Grasshopper,
That's cool. I know there are two other moms on here from the Wake Forest area. Maybe after the holidays we can try to get together and see if there are other moms nearby.
