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."

Grace--I'm in the Sacramento area. If you friend me, I'll give you my phone number for just in case. That is a very long drive from WA (I'm originally from the portland area, so I've made the i-5 trek numerous times), do you have overnight lodging plans at those stops you mentioned? I'm guessing from your picture that you are a Navy wife, are you moving for duty station purposes?

Grace, I'm hoping by now you've made it to your destination and the old adage 'no news is good news' applies. I thought of you often and prayed for your safety and for traveling mercies over the weekend. Best wishes to you as you settle into your new home.
