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."

Happy New Year everyone. Things have been so crazy around here. Sorry I have
missed everyones news. Congrats Kate! Congrats MaryK!! Prayers for you and your family Debbie. And Congrats as well!!
ProudMomS I heard the same sob story about not making it home after A school...ugh..I was so totally bummed the day he graduated and he said he couldn't get his trip figured out etc. and so wouldn't be home. I sulked around the whole day. That evening my son and his wife show up with him. I cried like a baby!!!! Come to find out all four of my boys were in on it. Even my 15 year old knew!! Didn't say a word to me!! Then he was due to fly out on the 27th but we got hit by the blizzard and he got to stay until the 31st!! We had a wonderful time. He is now at Norfolk awaiting transport to Diego Garcia.
