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."

Yeah I guess she will lol. He actually joined several months before she did. They met in DEP. Although they knew each other before but had never hung out or dated. I think he joined last November. She joined in April and left in May so it was all very quick for her. Even the engagement lol.

You have to go to Flounder's. It is at the end of the boardwalk beside the convenience store. They have great seafood and the BEST key lime pie in the world. OMG it is so good and enough for 2 to 4 people to share. Definitely go to the museum and lighthouse if you have not been before. I will send you my sailors number. She can tell you some great places. I am guessing she is probably a lil lonely right now. Her fiance just arrived at boot camp on Tuesday.

Hello all, its been awhile since I have been on. Today I am packing, running errands, and grabbing lunch with Rory'sMom because I'm going to Pensacola tomorrow for a week to visit Rory! Luckily, my university doesn't start until the last week of September for fall classes. But I'm very excited. Anyone have any recommendations for restaurants or things to do around Pensacola or Pensacola Beach?

The sashes have our screen name on the front and some have our sailors name on the back. We made them to wear to the meet and greet. Mine says Queen Lala, we became known as the Oreo Queens lol. I made small ribbons for us all to wear to PIR that had our sailors name on one side and the division on the other. I am still making ribbons for other PIR groups.

Yep she seems happy about it. Within 1 min of her calling me I had map quest up to see how far she will be from home and she had me check to see how far to Winterplace Ski resort lol. She loves winter and was a snow board instructor before she joined the Navy. She will be about 8 hours from home, same as Pensacola.

I'm glad you enjoyed time with her, and she got to Phase 3..Yay..
