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."

Keith got to talk to Daniel today! Apparently his spleen is better, but his knees aren't! They are talking possible medical separation, but nothing formal at this point so I guess we'll live on the "no news is good news" view until I'm on that plane next thursday!

I'm sorry, we couldn't walk around them. He took us inside the chapel building and and showed us around inside that and then back to the parking lot. The chapel is at the end of the parking lot so we didn't go very far.

I have heard that a high alert is in place due to the Colorado thing this weekend. That may impact any tours for PIR.

I'm wearing a grey pant suit, as long as we look nice we honor our kids.

Our first son did take us over to the chapel and show us around there. That was the only place we could go. That was 3 years and 1 month ago so I don't know how things are now. After that we stood in the parking lot and he told us what different buildings were, but we could walk around them.

Molly I have a question that i just thought of:
Can I send Daniel a pair of his contact lens for graduation? Or do they have to wear those ugly BC glasses for DIV

CoCo
That may be an idea for us also, we won't land in Mil until 4;30 PM then rent a car and drive.
Molly we got Daniel a I phone for PIR gift, lol we think sooo alike
