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."

well honestly at this point, I don't know if it'd be a good idea to sit with his family while his sister or brother sits somewhere else... I'll still talk with him about it though.. I just want that hug!
And I'm not sure what she's thinking... I mean she still hates Ryan's mother even though she LOVES Ryan and his siblings...

i was thinking that i hope he still sends letters when he is in A school.They are really nice.He never gives me any info.........only how much he misses us and cant wait to see us and" get the show on the road"..I didn't see a reply to my last question when should we stop mailing letters?
-

well I agree with PaulaJosh'sMom . . . if he wants you there, he'll put you on the list. However, he has to live with what he does. And yes, his great Aunt Chris has creepy thoughts ... lol. Goodness gracious .. what's the woman thinking?

He honestly doesn't care for his brother or sister. He's never been able to relate to them. I'm not saying he should put me before them for that reason though. Far from it, it's a special day and they should be there. But I wasn't planning on stealing him away from them either.. I just wanted to see him, hear his voice.. be able to hug him for real instead of just hugging my teddy bear.. I don't even care if we get alone time, it'd be nice but I really just want that hug.....

Denise, don't worry about it. I get along with his family usually, I'm just closer to his brother and sister for obvious reasons. Same goes with the rest of his family, closer to the cousins than the aunts and uncles. His great aunt Chris is the only one who hates me.. and that's cause I'm not family by blood which would be just plain creepy if I were

The only people that get in are the people on the list and if he wants you there tell him to put you on the list if that means taking a brother or sister off you have to let him make that choice and there is nothing his parents can do. But remember he has to live with what he does.
