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 think I will also wear red, but with all my coats, I don't think anyone will be able to see anything but the red tips on my nails and the red ribbon on my backpack.
In college, I spent some time in Germany, and found that full skirts do better in cold weather. I can wear several layers of long johns and still move! lol

Oh, thanks for the reminder of the bleachers! I HATE being cold. I might have to bring a blanket to help warm the seat. YES, the bleachers are narrow and yes, you will have knees in your back, and your knees will be in the back of the person in front of you. If you are not on the aisle, and need to go to the restroom, you will to step over the people next to you.

Cindy, I'm currently working on my masters in Sped. I love it and wouldn't do anything else!

Well, Ladies, I'm going to have to call it a night. I have an alarm clock that will go off for the first time in two weeks, so I better go and get ready for that moment.

MaryK, I have six third grade students. They are all low functioning autism.

Cindy, these past two weeks went by so fast, but now back for three days, and then off to GL!! That will be my whole focus this week! I have to make sure I tell my students that I won't be at school. They freak when I'm not there. (I'm self contained Special Ed)

I don't think I would make it if I had to drive. I'm flying into Milwaukee Thurs. morning and driving to GL. I just hope the roads are clear. I'm not use to snow. Here in Texas, we don't get a lot!

MaryK, I feel the same way. I am so glad that tomorrow is an in-service day. I just need to call my sub to make sure she still wants the job. Last time, my sub quit after the first day! Not a lot of learning this week!

Yes. The one in A school can leave base after class, but still has to be back by a certain time. They have to be in a certain phase before they can leave base. He has been in A school since mid Oct. and still has two months left. I was so surprised he wanted me to pick him up to go!

Rodwifey, I think the honor graduates will be posted when they update tomorrow. I have been looking for the same thing.
I still can't believe that it all happens this week!
My other son made it back to base today. I called before I left for church, and he was on the shuttle to base. He wants to go with me to the M&G!
