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."

Wolf Girl I hope someone was able to help. I wish I had some insight for you, but that's a hard situation, and I wouldn't want to just rallte off ideas without something to back it up. You are in my prayers, no matter what you decide.
nvmomma HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Yippee for your son being home safely. Enjoy your time with him and get LOTS of hugs!

Merry Christmas everyone. There is nothing like christmas snow. WOW it turns the world so beautiful. The ice scares me - but the snow is just wonderful. Just a dusting in Downieville for our Community Christmas celebration.
My Christmas wishes to each of you, Susan

Ya know sometimes it takes a while to hit you. I have been so busy with doing Christmas stuff for my clients that I didn't even think about it. This is the first Christmas I will not be spending time with my son. So Skype will have to do and I am sure we will have a great visit.

My mom is coming with me and she is freaken out, because of the cold weather. You see, she suffers with RA. Hopefully when we get there she won't have any problems. This is going to be a trip I'll never forget.
