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."

Hello everyone..Just wanted to say hi. I have not been on here much. My sailor is doing fine in Virginia. He loves to visit DC and Maryland. This will be my last post for a long time. Just found out last week my husband who has never smoked a day in his life has lung cancer. We are going through many tests right now and then surgery. Please keep my family in your prayers. Our life has been rocked by this news. This group will always be special to me. And I wish the best for all of you and your sailors. Take care and God Bless.

Hi ladies, I sure have missed everyone.  I have had a long and stressful month and then my internet went whacky as well.  That was the final straw. lol  I won't go into details as we all have been on some type of stress ride.  My prayers are with everyone.  txsailormom and sailor girl, I am so sorry for your losses.  I am so far behind I will never get caught up so I am starting new.  Please forgive me.  I am home alone tonight as husband is in hospital taking care of his brother who is in his final days.  Also waiting for phone calls from the brother and sister that live off the island and will be doing .airport runs.  My house is also the house that everyone will be staying at.  I have had a full house since the 17th of Dec.  oh well thank God that we have the room.  So nice to be reading about the next steps our sailors are starting on.  Please know all are always in my heart and prayers even if I don't get on.  Without you ladies, I would go more crazy than I am.  God Bless

Txsailorsam:  I also read the post.  I have to say my parents are"old, old" according to my mom.  they are in there high 80's.  they are about 6 hours away, so not able to see them too often.  I did want to tell you that I have been sending my prayers to you and your family.  If there is anything I can do, say the word.  You are all blessed that we have an extended Navy family. My Sailor say the same.  He has been going to church and praying for all the Navy families.  sorry getting misty eyes.  Just know that alot of people are thinking and praying for you.

Sailorgirl...I spent most of Dec. in the Annapolis area. That is my home town. It's a beautiful place. It is extra beautiful in the spring time. Enjoy your time there.
Comment by alessandrabeason on January 18, 2011 at 2:13am
thanks reenie and jane... it's been tough. tomorrow is the memorial service and unfortunately i don't have the money or time to take off of work to go and my sailor really couldn't leave base again. but we're holding strong together and he will get thru this with time,love, and support. sometime in the spring i believe they may do a memorial service up in annapolis where his dad attended the naval academy. so going to try to make it there :) and yes he's a catch, i lucked out. i love his kirk douglas cleft in his chin lol :)
