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."

Judy, I'm glad you made it. Now, rest for the big day tomorrow. I would take my own advice, but I'm too excited to sleep!

Roycecity, I think your Drill Sargent (Hubby) missed the point See, we have the slumber party at the drill hall so that we are NOT late! lol We all get our drink of choice and talk all night about how we are SO ready to see our sailors, and then when they open the doors, we are there! Men just don't get it.

Roysecity, just wait till you get their pictures! You will be carrying one of each with you, and pulling them out to show anyone and everyone. I don't think I ever did that with their baby pictures, but I do with the Sailor picture!

Barbara, when does Brandon go through BS? I want to make sure I'm there for you. You have been such a wonderful support for us!

Anyone up for slumber party at the drill hall? I figured if we have our party there, we might get to see our sailors sooner! lol

I don't know if I can sleep. Do you think they will let me in the Drill Hall now? I am so excited to see my new sailor!

HCC, you are a wonderful person to keep us all at ease!
Sorry I didn't make it to the M&G. I saw the snow coming down, and the Residence had a buffet, so I chose to stay in. I even decided to take the shuttle to PIR. I'm just a sissy when it come to driving in snow.
Roycecity, I'm glad you like my new name! My daughter said it was too long, but I am proud of both of my sailors, and I am too Texan not to mention it! lol

Donna, I think that's why I have my own. I hate to be without my internet and Navy4Moms!

Sure! I'm in 101

I'm looking at another PIR's announcement about the M&G, and it looks like it is 6-8. I'm at the Residence Inn and trying to look at a map so I don't get lost.
