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."

Betsy~ Thanks for the OPSEC details... I didn't know, it all makes sense, but just needed the details to keep myself straight :-)
And yes, thank you dianne for posting the video. It made me cry, but in a good way :-) It is nice to know a bit of how it will be.
It's coming quickly. I am so excited~

diannep...thanks for posting the link to that video. Not only was it nice to get a little sneak, but I've been watching the wedding videos on her site also, getting lots of ideas for my daughter's wedding in April :)

Giasams...so happy for you that you will be able to attend. My son's A school is in GL and he also said he would have the weekend off. There was initially some confusion about whether he would be staying in GL or flying out so we made our reservations for early Monday morning, otherwise I would have tried to stay through Monday, but we're thankful for the time we will have. The Meet & Greet at the Ramada from 6-8 on the night before sounds really great. Hope to see you there!

My internet isn't working right now, so I'm at the local library using the computer and I have to get back home. If anyone responds, thanks and hopefully I'll be able to get back online sometime tonight or tomorrow or maybe not - (God Forbid!) not until Monday. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Also, I went back pretty far to try to read the info I had seen before about the meet and greet at the hotel, cheapest way to get from airport to hotel and from hotel to GL. I read all that before, but since I wasn't going, I didn't really retain too much of it. I hate to be a bother at such a late date, but I'm just so excited that I'm actually going to be able to attend. i went ahead and made my reservation for monday, since I have that much time off anyway. I'm hoping that since my daughter's A school is in GL that she is correct in saying that she will have the weekend off. If not, I'll just have a nice vacation I guess.

Ladies-I have to apologize for being MIA for a while. You see my DH came home from a six month tour in Iraq about 5 weeks ago. Post-deployment is...real. As is Pre-deployment-or what I equal to h*** on earth-and the actual deployment. So been busy reconnecting and adjusting- but EXTREMELY happy!
Even though separation is hard we have been blessed to make our marriage stronger...even after 31 years together. It can be done ladies!
God is good.
