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."

mhill- I got these legging things i dont even know what they are called, (sorry i know thats no help) but they are tight to your body so you can wear them under anything, and they are suppose to be for cold weather, for snow and stuff. I got them at JCPennys. I got them cuz they seem to fit more comfortable then flannel under jeans and stuff. IDK if its just me.

Michele- thats really funny. Does everyone surround him when he comes home?
Loganheidi- I wont make it to the meet and greet :( I have class on thurs so my flight doesnt arrive until 10PM on thurs. I was so mad because i checked the prices for my flight ticket and they went down 200 in a week! My bf payed for everything but he could have saved $200 i was so mad. And i cant switch my flight cuz its an extra $150 grrr. As for the room im not sure how much it was, my bf's parents booked it for me.

I got an e-mail from the Navy giving me information about Nursing, recently. and to see if i wanted to join...I got scared when I first read it, like why is the Navy e-mailing me. lol. My bf would never let me do that lol. When he was joining back in feb his recruiter tried to tell me about their nursing program and how i should consider joining and my bf was like NO Way! she's not going, then we really wouldnt see each other lol

JessB- Its Sasha...lol just add the A. Ppl just call me Sash for short because its so much effort to say the last letter lol.
Katieliz- OMG im in love with Twilight!! I had to stop reading them cause I study about 30+ hrs a week (im a pre-nursing student, no time!) but i cant wait for summer so i can keep reading. The book is sooooo much better then the movie by far! Actually i got my sailor into reading them too, although he wont admit it hahah. He read the first one, just to prove he could read a book faster then me (we r really competitive and always try to beat each other at things) but he got really into them and before you know it he read the whole series! haha but of course if anyone asked he prob. deny it
