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."

Wade, I feel your pride all the way here in Texas!!!!! Like Johanna, I have no grandkids in the near future, so I will have to enjoy all your joys! I am glad the circumcision went well. I think it goes better when they are a new born, Laurence assisted in one at Camp Pendleton. He was 24. It just sounded painful!!!!
Also, I'm glad to hear that he enjoyed his nails being clipped. A man with well groomed hands is an important thing!
Keep the pictures coming!

Congratulations! He is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

That is truly a wonderful birthday present! I hope a good time was had by all at the birthday party.

Sounds like what every two year old wants to do for her birthday!

Maybe one day (far far away!) I can use the nickname I have at school. My coworkers call me GG. I guess I just don't want to be called Granny or any other "old" sounding words. It's bad enough AARP keeps wanting me to join!

Wade, you are making me one step closer to wanting grand kids, but my daughter is only 14, and my boys are still new to the Navy. They need to get settled first.

Wade, that is so weird about the BD! My oldest is 6-7-89. No one else had an easy to remember bd.
I just want to know where the time went. I remember all the "GET IT OUT" moments. Now, I have two grown sailors and a teenager still at home.
I look at moms with small children and just want to go up and tell them to cherish each moment. They grow up way too fast!
Sailor, thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom.

Wade, I feel for your frustration! I know that since I am now 50, I need to start going to the doctor more than once every 5-10 years, but I just hate going, having to spend all the money for the doctor to tell me something I already knew.
I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I am so glad to know that your BC daughter called and all is well. Just keep all the good thoughts of her PIR to help keep you focused.

Congratulations, Tina!!!!

I also remember my stalking days! Now I stare at m,y watch waiting or the magical hour I can call. I am getting really fast at converting TX time to California time. One son is on hold until his ship comes in, so I can talk to him more often.
What did we do before cell phones?
