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."

LOL Aloha....you're a funny girl...!. Not blaming the PO at all but I am in a blue funk today. Just want my family under one roof for a bit........ My middle son is moving out in a week - told me that today. An apartment space opened up for him so now he can start community college in January and, hopefully, make the swim team. He'll only be 2 hours away at Huntington Beach but my house is growing too quiet.... In such a short time, my nest became pretty empty. My youngest is only home either every other week or 3-4 nights a week. It's something, but we both aren't liking the quiet. He loves his sis and is growing closer to his bro since she left - a good thing they are all close.... But, now they are both going to be gone. I guess feeling the blues because you love and miss your family is better than just wanting to kick them all out because they drive you nuts...lol..... Goodness, maybe I should think about *gulp* DATING again...... HA!
I think this chica's over and out for tonight. "Gonna write a long letter" and call it a day... G'night all...

Can't wait to get home for my letter!!! Love you Alohagirl - you are like my preview! :) I know if you got one I should have one too. :)
Silkoutwest - I'm rooting for your Rangers!! I have a good friend in Texas who's a huge fan and since the Padres were - less than stellar this season - I've been cheering the Rangers instead. Plus St. Louis just doesn't need another win.

Well hurry home...it's like a written recap on their calls yesterday...
