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."

Race to 1500!
Alright, I didn't think anyone would actually take a guess. But I went to the movies with the family and come back to like 10 guesses! :) I love you guys!
So we'll do whoever is closest without going over. That's how they do it on Price is Right, right? :)
I can keep track of the numbers here each night at.. midnight eastern time. (Hopefully I can remember to do this when I'm in Charleston. Someone will have to remind me).
And I vote no recruiting members just for this purpose. :P
If anyone has suggestions to what the winner "gets", suggest away. :)
Guesses must be in by... July 25th to count. :)

So is Aaron in prototype now?

Yeah, he's in prototype. This week is his half way point!! Ahhh. Where has the time gone!?
He's an EM. I'm assuming your son is an MM since he was in the class ahead of Aaron for Power School? -

-
Yep, Michael is MM. He started prototype July 5. He is missing his surf board and boat!

I wonder if my son might want to sell the surf board he got when he first got there. He is doing a lot more fishing now a days since he is on grad hold. If and when he goes to Ballston Spa he probably won't need it. Just a thought. I have not mentioned it to him.

Im not certain, since I have never surfed and having been attacked by a jellyfish, avoid water without concrete or chlorine, but I think they surf around the Cape in MA and that is a hope skip and a train ride from BS.

Wow, I'll have to mapquest that...I grew up in Massachuseetts and used to go to the Cape as a child.
