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."

That is awesome lawdgo247. I know it warms your heart to get a great call like that. I know you are super excited and probably just didn't realize posting names on this site isn't allowed. So if yuo could remove your post with the last names listed and just rewrite it to have their DIV and initials that would be great. Hopefully you will find these other moms :) Congrats on the call :)

I was so worried about the Wisdom teeth..having my own pulled last year I know I was miserable for a week. He said they are ok and the food is great. He did say there is a lot of yelling but it is a small price to pay. He sounded so confident and that makes me a happy mama

lol true CatMom, I woke up at 10 am this morning. I NEVER sleep past 7 lol
That is a great idea Lynn, it is so hard for moms and dads to "like" the other person in our children's lives. I hope she is a wonderful girl and I hope you both have an awesome trip :)
