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."

Confession- I don't have TV at my house. Web episodes are just as convenient as Tevo! Yes we have a TV, but it isnt updated to this HD thing and we don't have cable/satelite. I have priced the converter box, (coupons no longer avail.) and have talked to the geeks at Best Buy...and they said for it to work properly I would need rabbit ears too, so I priced it all (total almost $100) and the geek said "sometime the converter box loses sound, but you will have picture"...so I priced a new tv because that would just piss me off! Anyhow, I can get a good size tv that is up to date and does not need cable/satelite to get the local channels for about $300. Currently saving for this purchase! My point to this is, I didn't know there was a huge friggin hurricane plowing toward the States!!!!???? YIKES! Praying for those in its path!

Just a quick note to say to all in the path of Hurricane Earl you are in my prayers to stay safe. He passed us by (a little to close for comfort) but left us with just a major washing. I feel like a duck with all the rain we have been getting. Still smiling about my phone call! Such powerful words "Hi Mom".

This group is getting very close. I bet some of you have already starting packing :)
It won't be long now and I know you are going to have a wonderful time.
All the ribbons ordered up to this point are finished and in the mail. It is not too late to get some if there is anyone else who would like some. Just send me a friend request and I will send you the info in the morning. It is bedtime on the east coast lol. Any NC Mom's out there?

I know what you mean as I'm sure everyone else does, too.I sure am hungering to hear from mine even though I, like,LTLY got spoiled the first couple of weeks. I tear up just thinking of him sometimes, more so when I don't hear from him. I hope I get a letter tomorrow and others who haven't heard, hear. Good night. Pleasant dreams.
