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."

HAppy things are well for you and you are DONE with your classes! YEAH! What adventures Paul must have been having...I want to hear all about them!
Jordan is doing well....just doing his job everyday and hoping GOD will bring about some opportunities for him to connect with people more. It's all in HIS timing!

Hi Marilyn! Wow this site has been very quiet. Good to see you "pop" on! I had my last day of school today. It's a weird feeling to be done. I've been so swamped for so long [since Jan] that all I was doing was school work and regular work. Paul is still on deployment but it won't be long before his ship returns to SD. They were in Australia a week ago!
How is everyone over your way? How is Jordan doing? I think it would be great to get together. Now I can actually DO something besides study!

HI ALL!
I thought I'd do a quick check in on everyone and see how it's going! I also thought maybe we could try to get more people to join so we could MAYBE plan a lunch or something??!?! OR we can just meet with those we have for lunch too!
Let me know how life is...I miss y'all!

well of those four is Cori who is now in the army and not "together" with Paul anymore. So who is the 3rd?
-
-
It actually shows 4 members...but I think we could pretty much remove it and focus on other things! Heehee!!

Wow Marilyn I had forgotten this group existed! Is there anyone but us? I already emailed you what was going on with us. I'm surprised a site that doesn't have any activity is kept up.
maybe we should have a "Mar and Lori" group?????
