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."

NavyDads is a good site, but they also come here to N4M to get the "real" answers, because Moms/Wives know best! There are actually several men on N4M and I think they like the attention they get, and they are great for a good laugh. They also help "calm" the group when emotions get high (if they do it right - if they do it wrong, they stop posting, but they keep reading!!!). DILLONS MOM should have her husband join both sites (unless she wants her personal space !!!!)

Brandon knew by the 3rd or 4th week, but was afraid to tell us at first (thought we would not come - we live in Northern California, I'm 22 miles from the Oregon border near Mt. Shasta).
He turned 21 six days after he arrived at Great Lakes - he had a terrible 21st b-day!!! He met his gf at church over a year before and she just transfered to San Diego State and has 3 yrs left of college - so this is the perfect time for them to grow up and determine if this is what they want for their careers and if that includes each other. We will see how it goes though, he's going to be on the USS Whitney for over 2 yrs in Italy, so that is a long time and a long distance to be away from someone. Can't skype onboard the ship.

That last text had TMI to the max in it. Will delete and repost. Sorry (and sorry to my son too). Wasn't thinking, just chatting along!

Oh ok... so I'll start asking my Kris what he knows. He just turned 18 last month... The Navy better be taking care of my precious cargo! ;)
I'm originally from Fontana, Ca. Going to So Cal. over Labor Day - bringing my grandparents (86 years old) to visit family.
I married my Navy guy - almost 19 years ago! Wouldn't trade him for the world!
Yes, time and distance can be a hurdle... but if they are meant to be it will work out.

I'll keep my fingers crossed! I really want to spend time with him. I guess it's good that we'll be driving there so we can plan for change easier. When did you find out he was G&G, the last week?
Soon to be engaged huh? Ahhh... young love... so sweet! :)
