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."

Thanks for all the info about plane tickets!
For those of you who are waiting, at what point do you think you will book your flights? My husband is antsy about booking a flight now. My gut says it is too early, to wait. But how long?
Wish we could just drive. I grew up and learned to drive in NY. Snow & ice doesn't bother me, traffic doesn't bother me. My husband and I have made 2 trips to Ohio- 18 hours up, spent 48 hours there, 18 hours back. We do S. Florida to NY almost every year, straight drive, only stops to potty & eat. The drive doesn't bother me and is SOO much cheaper, but I don't want to take the time from work to do that!
I'm still waiting for my first REAL letter. I don't have time to be stressed about airline tickets. Wish Calgon could take me away...

Jessica and Arwen: A nice trip to Miami will condition you on driving in awful traffic with awful drivers! Living here makes me know I can drive ANYWHERE after negotiating traffic here! :-) Now-- snow and ice....not so sure I can do that!

Cathy22- the first or last name is on the left, the DIV # is on the right. If anyone has another family member who is also enlisted in the military I will put an American Flag on the ribbons and if your sailor is in the band or choir I will put a music note on the ribbons. Just let me know. The best way for me to get the info to you is for you to go to my page (click on my name here) and on the left side click on add as a friend and I will send you the info.

Sorry I wasn't here to answer questions about the ribbons. I was taking down all my Christmas decorations.
For everyone who sent me a friend request I have sent you the info on the ribbons. The ribbons are only $5.00 each plus shipping. Shipping is $5.00 for Priority Flat Rate Box no matter how many ribbons you order it is only $5.00 to ship. I don't make the ribbons for a profit, it is just my way of paying it forward. I have gotten so many notes, letters and cards about how much everyone loved the ribbons, even from sailors. Even the people who work there checking people in ask where the ribbons come from. It is such an awesome feeling.

Dianne, for me it's the prospect of driving in a city, in heavy traffic. Snow I can do, give me a snowy road on a country mountainside with a cliff on one side and I'm fine. Put me in a city with thousands of other drivers on unfamiliar streets and I go white knuckled and can't even make a proper lane change, and become a screaming virago and won't let anyone in the car even whisper.

Oh, my 90-year-old grandparents took the train to Chicago (from San Francisco) last year and loved the trip. They could use the bathroom as often as they needed, and said the trip reminded them of their youth, when train travel was more common.
