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."

Well, BS is still going strong!
YEA 049, 050 and all others!
I'm fixing to check the weather to see about flight delays.
See ya'll tonight! Safe travels to all!

Texasmom, I'm so sorry to hear! I 'm sure his group will do better tonight! I'll say a prayer for him!

Laurie, which instrument does he play? If I see him, I will take a picture for you!

I so want to go to sleep, but I can't. I knew this would happen. Just like the day he left. I can't sleep knowing that this is it. His brother assures me that BS is so simple, yet I still can't sleep. I guess I'll try.
Anyone else awake?

YEA 049 and 050! Only 9 more hours!

MaryK, I'm glad you had a good day. I did too! I only had 2/3 of my students, and the sub called and said that she WOULD be there on Thurs. and Friday. My class is so hard to find a sub! I remember for my other son's PIR, the sub showed up on Thurs and did not return on Friday!
I guess with so many people on the road, our BS party is small.

Sailor Adams Mom, Thanks for the advice. Here in Texas, when it gets cold, the whole town shouts down. It is suppose to get down to the mid 20's tonight, and the school district has cancelled all outdoor sports and activities.

Jodia, I'm glad to hear that you got an earlier flight!
I was watching the weather on the news tonight and as cold as it is in GL, I am SO glad that BC is not in Casper WY. It is -25 there!

NavyAunt, thanks for the up date. How are you holding up? I'm doing good. Nervous, but functional.

HCC, as a teacher, I will excuse it since you have worked so hard with our recruits. You have done something I have been trying to do for teh past 20 years!
GO 049!
