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."

hahahaha Did you NOT want to be in the pic?? Are you choking that little kitty? haha She is adorable... I wonder if you can sneak her in the hotel?? She's little enough!! We tried to have a cat, Abner wouldn't leave it alone, then we tried to have a puppy, Abner wouldn't leave it alone, LORD help me if I want to adopt a kid or something! LOL I LOVE BUNNIES... I raised rabbits for high school FFA, they make great pets, but I bet Abner won't let me have one! LOL

I think TIff lied about the crying... because she knows mommy is a cry baby (not before she decided to leave... then I got to be a cry baby) and bless her little heart, she was a crying fool at the hotel and at MEPS, I tried to hold it together but, well.... as they say... pooopie happens :(
You are so lucky to have the kitten :) We only have the community dog LOL no other pets, I did buy her a zuuzuu??? hamster for their Easter baskets, she never opened hers... I'm going to take it!!

Tiffany did write, at first, before the "stuff" started happening (I guess that means the Real Bootcam) but she would lay in bed and it was so hard for her because she would start thinking about home, then towards the end of her letter, it was "I'm so tired, I can't wait to sleep" hahahaha

Yes that makes sense! lol but we are out here (with all the wisdom) asking all the questions and they are in there following orders (hopefully developing some wisdom) lol

Thanks Jane... she's a pretty little girl.... she wrote in her letter "I'm not the girly girl you sent off to boot, I've not even seen a mirror!" she wasn't into the makeup much, but her hair, heaven forbid if it didn't look right! LOL Tiny is good, both of my girls are little, I think they got that from the dog, not the mom or dad LOL We are NOT little!
Sondra... I am hoping that they will help them along with the studies.... I know she will need it too!! I wish so bad that they could "really" talk to each other... so we could know if they know each other like we know each other.. did that make sense?

Not sure why we need to be able to do push-ups or sit-ups! lol I just wish they had come to the school when he was in the 6th grade and taught him how to study! lol He made decent grades but could have had better if he would have studied!

Why on earth does one need to know how to do a push up??? (OK...if I was a MAN I could think of several reasons, but only for pleasure) But as a girl... uuhhhh it's stupid!!
