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."

Rereading your post... I didn't even think to ask about Flags... and she didn't mention it... BOASTING is a wonderful thing, but our conversation and letters have never been that... she is not competitive and I am not either. Our letters, especially hers are all about her day to day activities. YES she did tell me she got her E-3 and YES I was curious about how she has it on her sleeve... but I wouldn't say I was boasting! LOL... maybe so... but unless someone else in her DIV says what they have earned or not earned, I have no clue!! I'm just happy to get a letter and luckily today, a phone call!! I hate the fact that there is someone upset on here... can you tell?? Please, let it fall to the wayside and lets look forward to the end result!!! :) :)

Michaels may have candles, I saw the scrapbook today, waiting on tomorrows newspaper to get it half off since I have to buy two. Or should I say "want" to buy 2?

Well, I'm not sure where I fall in the category... because I post ALL and Everything about what she says... but try to stay positive! She has had TONS of let downs through this process and this last one is a really big one... but she LOVES her div and does not want to be seperated from them, nor do I for her. Medically, she cannot help what has happened.... and I agree, we must be sensitive to all as a group!! These kids have lived with each other for six weeks and have learned each other... we, on the other hand, have not! Some have wisdom, some do not.. I pray we can ALL pull it together and support them!! And you know, I think maybe they are more "mature" than some of us... I apologize if I've offended you in any way and I apologize for the others, because that's what I do! :):) I think we all feel the pain and all feel the victory as well!!!

I have my trusty Navy Scent Warmer...maybe that will work.

bonnie, I was telling my husband about your sons... did they both go to the recruiter together? did they wait for each other? how was it they got in the same div? Did they know before they left they would be in the same div together?? hahaha BONNIE... You are NOW on 20 questions!!!!

I am going to have to find one. I think I will check target first. I have a candle lit at church for the boys since the day they left.

Yeah reenie... :)
I cannot burn a candle all night long... my in-laws lost their house to a candle, so now I'm paranoid to burn them... maybe I can buy a flashlight and put a blue light in it!!

Nothing reenie... just a big fight! That you were in... sorry you missed it!! LOL

MtnMom, not sure I understood your comment. I don't think anyone is putting down any other divisions. All I have seen are comments congratulating accomplishments and phone calls, and also any concerns over our divisions or our SR's. I feel alot of support here when I feel down. I hope you reconsider and stay. Hope to see u at PIR
