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."

Haha, Sharon. I bet that was really different for VA.
My family lives right outside of Baltimore and they were buried in about 7 feet last year.
You are right, the midwest is used to it a little more, than us east coast folks. lol

he DID call back. He needed proof of address, in the form of people vouching for him living in his house. So I called a couple of friends who said they'd be willing, and faxed the form in. And then he said, "love you, Mom," in front of his command, so, go me! I stuck the letter I've been writing to him (six pages!) in the mail today, along with a SASE and questionnaire I wrote up, with the help of a couple of borrowed questions from some of the other questionnaires I've seen on the site. Most of the questions were humorous, so I hope it gives him a smile.

No, Susan he is going into Aviation Electronics. I'm assuming that's why I haven't heard from him, :(
