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."

So how are all the queens doing today? Anyone feeling blah? I sure am. I just feel like I was hung over and I don't even really know what that feels like. Believe it or not I have never been drunk in my whole life lol. I feel like I have been on pain meds for a week and just came off of them. I think it was too much caffeine. I drank probably 10 bottles of Mt Dew in 3 days and I am not a soda drinker. I need to flush this stuff out of my system so I can begin to feel normal again :)

Hi Oreo Sistahs!! It is wonderful that all those whos "New" Sailors have signed in to their A schools are getting chances to talk to them. We are still waiting. Haven't talked to Chris since we dropped him off Sunday morning.He wasn't getting his orders until today.Then either today or tomorrow he will be moving across the street. Said they had alot of cleaning to do to get the place ready for the next SR coming in. Stripping and shining the floors, the head etc... I am still amazed that he is cleaning like this. I keep asking why didn't he do this at home like I don't know the answer to my own question. Lala this is great. Love that you started this group. I don't have any sisters also nor brothers. You are all special to me. Well got to run. TTYL

Ok ladies, I am off to the post office. I am sending no bake cookies to our sailors in Pensacola. So if you have a sailor there tell them to have Skipper hook them up with some in a few days.
