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."

It was 38 Degrees here in Florida this morning...can't imagine what it is like in Great Lakes. Hope no hazardous weather to prevent travel and airport delays. Pray for good weather.

I had the weirdest dream last night...I did not make it in time for the graduation, and when I finally got there the doors were closed and I could not get in. Somebody eventually opened it and saw me outside and told me I could go in. By then it was all over.

I'm so happy for everyone and am just ready to pop waiting for my call. Hopefully it will be in a short while because I don't know how long I can stand this!
Kathy, I would definitely have him go. It would just be one more person so I'm sure they would get him in there! What's one more, right? LOL
I'm so happy for everyone and so proud of our Sailors!
Everyone travel safe and I'll see you guys real soon. jfarm, I'm checking my mail right now. I'm going to send you my cell number too! :)

Good Morning! Thank you so much for the answers to the post I sent out last night. What would I do without you all! I will tell my brother that he should not have trouble getting in. He really wants to be a part of this for my son. He hasn't been able to because we have lived so far away from him and his family. Thank you again. Also, good luck and god speed to all the recruits going through BS last night into today and the last group who goes tonight (one more, I think). All will go well. Power of positive thinking!
The phone call posts were great! I was a bundle of nervous energy until I heard yesterday. It is a great message to receive. Well, I am about to battle with a 15 year old who does not want to get out of bed. . . . . Have a great day everyone!

I woke up at 2:00 this morning and thought "OMG tomorrow at this time I will have to be getting up to get ready to go to the airport". Tomorrow is going to be a long, exciting day. I am already anxious to get my call today and it will probably be about 6 hours away.
Everybody have a great Wednesday.
