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."

Dan is now officially separated from the Navy and at the University of Kentucky! Hope all is well with all of his fellow boot camp alum.

Dan is on track to get out in November, he plans on going to school to be a physicians assistant and then to possibly re-enlist.
Merry Christmas!

*yea!

Anybody still here? Dan is talking about re-enlisting or not and I thought about our group. Anybody else having the same conversations? Dan has been to A-stan with the marines and is now stateside close to home (yea?) How about an update on your sailors?

Totally missed that, it's hard to believe it's been two years already!

Dan is home from deployment and we're loving having him home for a few days! He heads back to Camp Lejeune tomorrow. :(

Dan just earned his FMF pin!

Now he's just waiting for a ride out of the sand pit and home by Christmas!

Jodia- Dan is still "in the sand" we hope to have him back sometime in October.

Congrats to Kenny for completing the Nuke pipeline and to Rod for earning his crows! Major achievements both.
My sailor is still a Marine clearing roads of IED's in the sand. They just got back to base from a 3 week patrol so he's been on FB chatting with me, he seems to be in good spirits considering.
Soon after he gets back he will get to choose new orders, for some reason his A school class only got two year orders instead of three. He told me the Marine Commander was pi$$ed because that means they only have them for one deployment (yeah) he tried to change them but couldn't. He's hoping to choose orders in a hospital closer to home.
