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."

I'm so glad that I can sit and read all the comments and what is going on. I 'm guessing that battle stations are tomorrow. Hope all goes well with are boys. I'm so looking forward to Friday. The week is just not going fast enough. I could use a vacation with family. My son had to do needlepoint in H.S. so he should be o.k..the things they take in school, probably never thought he would use that skill again. Hope to meet some of you this weekend.

So, are any of us going to get any sleep tonight, I doubt it! I'm happy to call or text anyone who won't have internet tomorrow when I talk with my son. (We're traveling on Thursday). Please just let me know if you'd like, and I'm happy to pass along any updates that seem like they might be of interest. I already have Deb's cell phone number, just need to get it programmed in my phone. We're actually taking a laptop with us and I'll probably have it at the meet and greet. Safe travels to everyone, those of you driving take care, I hope your journey goes well and can't wait to see you in Chicago!
It's about time to light my candle...and see if I can make it through the evening without driving myself and my husband crazy! -
