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 guess he did today. He said that it could have happened Monday, since it was very short. Now he is waiting for the next step.

Craig is waiting to graduate. He finished AO schooling on Monday.
He was suppose to graduate on Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday, now today? He will be land based in Lemoore, CA. He was happy with that.
Congrats, BB!!

Congratulations times 100, Michelle. I'm so happy for you.
Helene, it's always something, isn't it. Hope Paul has a better week.
I forget if I said here, but Craig is going to Lemoore, CA. He is landbased, which is what he wanted. He graduates next Monday, and we are hoping that he can come home for a quick visit before he heads west.

Thanks, Janet. I needed to know I'm not alone.

Evening ladies. I didn't come on line for 3 days (wow), so have a lot to catch up on. There is a lot from BC that your boys have learned from to help them in life. Maybe that's what they needed in order to keep on a good track for life. I know that it helped Craig to mature.
Karen, all any of us can do is live one day at a time. God bless to you and Janet and the guys. I also hope that Paul will class up soon. It's hard to be on hold. I'm still learning patience.
So, here is a laugh for you. I have a coupon for buy one get one free entree at TGIFridays. I talked my husband into going for lunch today. My mind was on the Oriental Chicken salad at Applebee's and that's where we went. I show them my coupon, and they say, you're in the wrong place. So, I got my salad, and we can go to TGIF's some other day. Talk about spacing out totally.

Karen, again, I am so sorry about Damien. It is good that they discovered it now and nothing happened to him. Isn't it good to have resources to help you out? Keep us informed. When does he come home?
Enjoy the get together in Seattle. I'm glad you are able to go.
Night to all for now.

Kathy, how are you and your daughter doing tonight. Are all the plans falling into place?
Karen, how are you? How's Damien? Does he ever feel any different because of his heart? My mom has mitro valve prolapse. One of my nieces has had two heart surgeries, one at 12 and one at 25 (just a year ago now). She is a strong, young lady. Are you looking into that 2nd opinion?
-
-
Kathy, glad that your daughter has a supportive family. God bless.
Karen, I'm so sorry about this news. I don't know what to say. I am glad that Damien has his diploma. He knows that he was successful in some very challenging things. Good for him!!! Get that 2nd opinion. But, I pray that whatever he can do, it is in his best interest and health. Stay strong, take care.

Hey, Janet. Wonderful!!! I'm so happy for you guys. Enjoy.
Also, don't leave us and when he does go back, stay here with us.
Don't you love it that they have to wear their pants at the waist? That's always been the hardest for my sons.

Janet, you can make it. Everything will be great. Enjoy!!!
