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."

When I called the PAO, she said to keep everything and when they get to A school, they can file a claim to be reimbursed for what the Navy would have paid for them to get there from GL.

SARA Happy late birthday! I am glad we both were lucky enough to get something from our boys on our special days!
Well ladies another day has gone and we are a day closer! I know I am feeling it.. even though I got my form letter yesterday and it was awesome I felt blank... I took a nice hot bath last night and it hit me like a ton of bricks and I just started crying and couldn't control it.. thought I was going to hyperventalate... but I pulled myself together and managed to get to bed ok. Its tough and I know I miss my husband cause he is the love of my life and I feel like I am missing half of myself. I thought of this group and all the positive things that have been said here and it lifted my spirits. This group is the closest thing I have to my husband and what's going on and I am thankful we have such wonderful strong women in here.

I just called the Public Affairs Office and she did confirm that they will be able to take leave. The time will be docked from their own leave, so I would check with your own child before making arrangements. Coming home and then back to A school would be on our dime. They would then calculate the difference in the fare to A school from home, as opposed to GL, and reimburse accordingly.

Yeah if you don't have a newer computer with Microsoft Works 6.0 or better you wouldn't of been able to open it. Give me a few minutes I am saving it as EVERY program I can... 7 of them so hopefully one of those will work for you ladies.

My husband called Monday and told me of him having two weeks leave. Still waiting on detailed info before I buy his plane ticket back home (as well as mine). So glad our recruits will get to spend time with us.
Still waiting on my box though.
