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."

We haven't gotten a call from Jamie since the 21 days in call. Besides the "I'm here" call that is it. Since 205 and 206 don't go to battlestations until tomorrow night, they are still in training and probably haven't as much free time. I know there are some that left the week before my son did. He'll actually only do 7 weeks of bootcamp.
We are leaving from Atlanta tonight after I get off work! Safe travels to everyone!

Lizzie I am so excited for you! Hard to believe that we are counting just days instead of weeks until we see our loved ones. I remember what it used to be like to travel with little ones. So much tougher than just packing for yourself. You sound pretty organized -- you'll be just fine. Happy travels!

Jen I love the picture much prettier than the Sunflowers! Josh didn't mention the blood drive he just gave blood about 2 months before he left for bootcamp not sure if he can do it again that soon.

Jen - nice pic of you too! I haven't heard of any blood drive, but sounds like something Brandon would volunteer for.

Paula & Sobe -- nice pics!

Ok . . . everyone's changing their pic, so I did, too. Got rid of the sunflowers. *sigh* Might be able to make the meet and greet after all. Need to see which family members want to come with me. Going to try to make it as far as DesMoines on Wednesday! Anyone else's sailor talk about donating blood tomorrow?
