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."

Asking for prayers for our entire state of NM<, we are the driest in the country right now and have a HUGE fire in the town of Los Alamos. It is 80 miles from us but my husband grew up there, we lived there for about 5 years, we have many friends that live up there and my in laws are about 6 miles from that town. The town has been evacuated since Monday, fire started Sunday and will be at 100,000 acres by tomorrow. Where it will become the largest fire in NM history. Good thing is it has not reached the town or the National Lab, which is one of the biggest concerns right now.

Seven weeks from today is his A school graduation and I am also hoping my son will get liberty and fly home on 4th of July weekend so we might be seeing him next weekend. He is planning on it but so far the little rascal has not told me he actually has airline tickets yet. Which is par for the course for a "nuke ET student" Lol. Little details like telling Dad flight arrival times & the like can wait until classes end for the week.
