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."

Michimom...that would be my son...I was so caught up in the medical things with these sailors...I'm an RN and did pediatric ICU for over 11 years, so the ruptured appy thing just broke my heart, especially wondering if he had waited thinking the pain was just a virus or something like that. So many of the sailors didn't want to go see the dr as they were afraid of getting sent back. So glad he is doing well!!!

Hello Sash Sistahs! It has been such a long time since I've been on I had a lot of reading to do to catch up with all of you! Bryan will be home in less than two weeks and will be with us for two weeks! I can't wait to see him again! He will then leave for San Diego and he is very happy that some of the friends he has made will also be going there. He is doing very well and seems so happy when I talk to him. Isn't it great to be able to talk with them whenever you want?

My sailor had some test today, maybe the first one in the cor class of A-school. She had the highest score of all the girls...was not happy that 3 guys scored higher than her lol. Always so competitive.
I am counting down the days again lol 2 days from right now I will be on my way to Pensacola YAY Bet I can't get her to wear her dress white uniform... everyone wants to see her in uniform but now that she is allowed in civi's I don't know if I can talk her into a uniform lol.
