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."

JGoody - Div 203 & 204 for sure, but could of been one more Div too.
I tried to go to work today, but they moved me into a new office and the janitor locked it on Friday and he's the only one with a key! So I am home, suppose to be working on writing a Grant, but for some reason I'm distracted. My laptop keeps opening up this group page instead of my Word program!

Division 929 Ship 6 was supposed to have BS-21 last night. That's what all of us "Moms" in that division/ship were told. Yikes, now I sound like I'm in the Navy and not my child. I'm a little obsessive. Can you tell?

You know, my son was always the funny one - maybe I've taken over his spot since he left for bc. Hope he pays me well for this!

Clandy26 and Lizzie - Jamie and his younger brother are 11 months and 20 days apart! And then I waited sixteen years to get my little girl! Trust me - DON'T WAIT THAT LONG!! The boys were called "Irish" twins! LOL - and I don't remember a thing until they went to kindergarten. They had me on the move constantly!!

Sobe: You are hilarious! I love it!!

Yep, Sobe you did a great job on the recap.
i hate to say, but the ladies with toddlers who are trying to clean might as well forget it. Had my 16 month old grandson for only 2 days. The house was trashed & I was worn out! Wow, I must have been a LOT younger 30 years ago.

Was there battlestations today? Its only 3 there so might be a lil bit longer tallmama. :) Hang in there.
Lizzie: lol its nice when they are prob a lil more more spread apart. Mine only have an 18 months difference. LOL well I'm sure if it happens, you could do it! :) I get a lot of help from my younger brother and sister. I don't know what I'm gonna do when we have to move. Might have to bring along one with me. haha My mom would kill me. Your lil one has to be so thrilled to see daddy! well and you too! I haven't mentioned anything to my kids. :( Feel like a bad mom a lil but hopefully they'll get to see him in two and a half weeks. Iknow you mentioned your lil girl was talking more must be the age cuz my lil guy is talking alot more now too. Hard to get him to be quiet sometimes lol.
