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 haven't received confirmation that my SR's travel itinerary was received either. I am just trusting that it was or I would have heard otherwise. I just sent it on Saturday so I may still receive one!

MarylandMom - I received a confirmation email from the scheduling office within a few days of sending my SR's itinerary to them.

MarylandMom: Try not to worry. Does anyone else in this group have the email address (scheduling office) that you sent your itinerary to? If so, maybe you can private message it to MarylandMom and she can see if it is the same that she sent to.

well I did contact PAO. They really wasn't able to help me.Items going to the scheduling office doesn't go thru them. She said that hopefully I will get another call from my son to verify that I did send his itinerary.Fingers crossed that I do receive a confirmation email or He calls soon so I can let him know. I did mail out the mapquest papers, but the man at post office said it wouldn't arrive until fri or sat. Don't know when S will actually get it. Hope this doesn't make him miss his leave. I will be sick if it does.

Why do I find it so funny that my older son's "rock" radio station is playing non-stop traditional Christmas music????? I was looking for a Christmas music station---and in disgust, he told me that he has "no rock station" to listen to anymore...well, I have found my Christmas music station!

The Weather is back!!!! I reloaded it and it's working, YAY! It's actually going to be warmer in Great Lakes today, than it is here in New Mexico. Our high is only going to be 36 degrees.

Good Morning everyone, so sorry I missed some of your posts about ribbons. I had my sailor home for Thanksgiving so I am sure your understand me being MIA lol. She got home Wed night, we had a great Family dinner on Thanksgiving, went shopping at 4am on Friday, wrapped presents and decorated the house and put up the tree on Saturday and celebrated her 21st birthday Sunday right before she left to go back to VA. I miss her already. Somehow, during this busy weekend she found time to go out and buy a new car and went snowboarding with her best friend. Makes me tired just thinking about all of it lol. I have most of the ribbons for this group finished and ready to ship. Some will be in the mail today. If you ordered and have not sent you payment you need to do that asap. If you have not ordered yet just click on my name and on the left side of my page either click on add as a friend or send me a message and I will send you all the info. Thanks, so much. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I know you are getting excited about PIR. Just one more before yours and then you will be on top of the list WhoYah...
