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."

Hoppi, sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. It was meant as a joke, thats the thing with typing, you cannot "hear" the tone of the sentiment behind the comment. All my children are very respectful. My sons, nephews, sons friends, they never cuss in front of me, any of their elders, or anyone they don't know. Don't know how they talk/joke when no one else is around.

Were those boys drinking gallons of mountain dew, bawls, monster and other red bull equivalents?

Yes, I sure do miss the days when my house was filled with boys - up all night - sleeping all day. Ran into one of the boys tonight and he hugged me so tight and said he knew my SR "got this s--t" with a big smile. My SR used to travel with small tv, laptop, games, cords, small table. Whenever he went out it was like packing thecar for a trip. Had to warn anyone visiting my house, watch out for cables running from room to room - the danger zone. lol

@Tiff's send her some SASE or at least stamps, my son ran out and did not know when he could go to NEX next. A friend of my boys - army now, said stamps are better than currency in boot camp.

I remember the LAN parties at my house. TV's everywhere, ethernet cables everywhere, kids with feet on the kitchen table - that one was solved with the evil eye, all the snacks everywhere, long haired boys everywhere. A small mess the next day, not to bad, we had great kids *friends included* Oh how I miss those days

Does anyone know when the kids take the class that teaches them to "cuss like a sailor"?
@Tiff's mom - today I went to the mall very late with my brother, on the way out I saw the build a bear store, they had already lowered the gate door almost all the way but there were still a few folks in there. I asked about the navy cap. uniform, they said they have a navy sailor and an officer outfit with hats. Guess what I'm buying tomorrow??
