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."

Gosh, you gave me goosebumps, thanks for the compliment for my son. I can't believe your son never played that instrument or any, pretty impressive! My son said he wrote his own solo...those darn kids are impressive! I've watched the video so much, I feel like I could play all their parts by now! (LOL) Your son and my son must hit it off well, because I know my son would be very impressed by your son's talents, I can tell you that! Man those kids make me proud! So nice to meet another mom from the drum line! Yea!

Hi Alison, Did you notice our sons had much shorter hair than last week...so handsome. I am looking forward to watching the video tomorrow, I had a tough time watching it too. I just wanted to tell you that at work I made one of the PIR pics from last week as my wallpaper, so your son is part of my wallpaper! LOL! My mom saw the whole video today, and she said they did great again! Can't wait to get the "I'm a sailor" call!!! Wanted to ask you where your live, how far do you have to travel to Great Lakes? I'm in AZ, so it's a hike. Have a great weekend, sure hope to get calls this weekend!! Bernadette

Hi Bernadette :) You're right, their hair is so short, and the funny thing is I got a call today and my son said he was out of shampoo. Good thing he has almost no hair to wash. That is so great that my son is part of your wallpaper -- they are also bunkmates! Calls should come in Tuesday, I can't wait either. We are from Connecticut (but native northern Californians ;), we are flying out of NY so we can get a direct flight. Hopefully it won't be too much of a haul for you to fly from AZ. I can hardly wait until Friday, I hope we get to meet you and the family!!

I know, bunk mates...how cool is that! My son said your son is very cool, and he said, "Mom, I think he is the smartest kid I ever met". :-) I guess your son did mega push ups that helped them win the cup too! I grew up in New Hampshire, so I really love Connecticut, beautiful place! Sunday's phone call was the bomb, huh? Can't wait for the "I'm a Sailor" call, and to get my first hug from my son! I wish they put Friday's PIR video on already!!! Have a great week!!!! Bernadette

Hi Bernadette! That is so sweet of you to relay...awwww :)
He was really thrilled they won the captains cup too. Now just waiting for a call, although it was totally amazing and unexpected to get one Sunday (hooray!) One of the other moms posted that she had info on Battlestations etc and to inbox her, but I have not heard back from her since Saturday -- everyone must be so busy with packing and travel! I love NH, you are so lucky to have grown up there, most of NE is so fabulous and neither of my kids can imagine living back in CA without seasons. When are you flying out? My son said the BC food has been great, but he is desperate for Indian food, of all things, so we are looking for something near base for Friday
