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."

Sitting here with a glass of wine...trying to calm my nerves...thinking about the full moon and remembering the special thing N and I have with the moon...I have always told him that no matter where he goes when he sees the moon, he can remember that I, too, am looking up at the same moon! So seeing a full moon on the night of Battle Stations is so special for me! ...plus it will give them more light! hahaha! Working tomorrow and then coming home...packing up the car and heading out by midnight...my husband likes to drive at night. Can't wait to see you all!

Praying for all of our future sailors that are doing BS21 tonight. Can't wait to have my husband home on Wednesday. :)
Question: can something message me what the password for the parking pass is? I'm trying to print em out and it says my password is wrong.
thanks!

Right now I'm anxious! BS tonight, then I hope that he don't call that early in the morning (funny dentist for cleaning). Then hope is not very late at night because probably I will be on the plane in my way there. I already change my message in case that he call when I'm away or off in the airplane. No winning case! Well.....2 more days until I see him. Love you Jo!!

I am getting so excited, I wish Wednesday morning would hurry up and get here. Or at least Monday night, so we can get the phone call!
