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."

I have added abunch of pics and still have a lot more to add. Keep checking for your sailor. It takes time to load them then they have to be approved. I am off now to pick up Phil's girls from their Mom's house. Be back on later. TT4N

Hey KsMom--I was there with them when they got on the plane. Our boys were supposed to leave at 2:17 and the flight was delayed 4 times and then moved back up. The five fellows had their seats given away to standbys since they didnt hear any announcement in the seating area (I was with them and didnt hear anything either!) across the aisleway! They had to make a mad dash across the airport in hopes of getting on that 5pm flight so they didnt have to go back to Great Lakes and explain why they missed their flights! What a day! Needless to say, Katie and I missed our train at 9:30

Hi!!! My son is at Goose Creek, SC. Any of you have sailors there? His dad and I took his phone, computer, and iPod to the airport at 2:30 on Saturday morning. His flight didn't leave until 6 that night but he had to be at the airport at 2:30 in the morning. I soooo don't understand.
Anyway, we've been texting and talking at least once a day since Saturday. It's nice to be in communitcation with him again.
I took a few photos and put them on Facebook. My email is BLTP44@yahoo.com. Friend request me!

Ruthann, I am so glad you are here. I was worried about you. Tell Derick thanks so much for helping me at the meet and greet with my MIA teens. They scared the crap out of me. I am so glad you are back. It does take a lot out of people when they make a trip like that.
I took over 300 hundred pics at PIR and I am in the process of adding as many as I can (8 at a time) I hope I got pics of some of your sailors.
Does anyone live anywhere near New Port Richey FL?
