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."

Freedom's Colors

Red is for
Bravery;
blood shed in sacrifice.
Freedom came with lives the price.

White is for Liberty;
freedom's purity.
Life be free from God's decree.

 

Blue is for Justice;
as vast as the sky.
Over freedom's land to occupy.

 

** Happy Memorial Day **

Happy Memorial Day everyone, God Bless all our military past, present, and future, especially our Sailors who are so dear to our hearts and God bless their families who wait for a call, letter or homecoming. I hope you all get a wonderful letter or call home this week :-)

Welcome back, NYRican!

Good evening all. I finally returned from my Madrid trip and heard that my son called yeasterday. I knew I would miss his call. I heard he made an official business call earlier in the week to ask me a question but since I wasn't here he had to hang up. I'm aware that he gets to make offical business calls because his chosen field requires a background investigation and he needs to provide information about pretty much his entire life and associations. Hope to hear from him this week and if not the weekend.

     I read through at least 18 pages on here to catch up and it was wonderfull reading all the posts. The support here is great and the count down clock is fabulous. Oh, and thanks Joel's rackie for the quotes etc... :)

In Loving Memory
On every soldier’s tombstone
should be a message of honor, respect and love:
"In loving memory
of one who loved his country,
who fought against evil
to preserve what is right and true and good.
In loving memory
of one who is a cut above the rest of us,
who had the surpassing courage,
the uncommon strength,
to do whatever had to be done,
persevering through hardship and pain.
In loving memory
of one who was brave enough
to give his life, his all,
so that those he cared about
would remain safe and free.
In loving memory
of a unique and treasured soldier
who will never be forgotten."
