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."

Sorry for the typos but my computer is acting strange, the letters in the comment box are so tiny and squeezed together I can't see what I'm typing!

Cara, BRAVO ZULU to Brandi. It sounds like she "super sailor." I know you are so proud of her and so are we!!
joan1220, I know how you feel about transportation. My & I both believed he would get to come home for T-giving, now they're saying 'no' or 'maybe." It's very frustrating because I got the ticket due to them all selling out quickly, now I don't know anything and neither does he yet. "Hurry u and Wait." GRRR
Hi Bradlee's mom at least we're still here. Have you heard from your guy and how he's doing?

Hi Bradlee's mom, it seems like when I think no one is going to post, I come back a while later and there are losts of posts, and I think "where was I?" LOL It does feel strange to check back and see that I was the last one to leave a comment....I remember just before PIR you had to read a page or 2 just to catch up...good times, oh and strssful times!
I really have nothing new to post, just hanging in while B goes through pre-buds.

57 days since PIR. Amazing. Bravo Zulu to those heading for duty stations! B is still hanging in there in pre-buds. It's a long, long road but he's still there.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Anyone get to spend Turkey Day with their SA? Hmm, what are they after they finish Appretice school?

The DVD came but it's at my daughter's house still. I received a few pictures of sailor boy and some friends having "fun." He is 22, so I guess he's entitled to a few beers now and then..

I'm going to have to ask my daughter if she got the dvd. It should have gone there. I know B ordered one.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.:o)

Hi Natalie and Anita, I'm so happy to hear that your guys are doing well, espeically that J is feeling better and got good news!
B is doing good at pre-buds. It will last at least a few more months.

Ellen, I didn't see your update. It will so great if E gets to come for this friend's wedding. Seeing two is dress whites! Oh Ya!
Hi Anita, this group seems to be a the smaller one from PIR so I'll say "welcome back" here. I like the Red Cross idea, hmm have to file that one away for the future! LOL

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you are hearing from your sailors. I'm having a hard time not getting calls, letters or texts when I know he can send any of those. I'm very thankful to have all of you to share with. That Latte is looking really good about now!

Tonya, I think they like to torture us!!!! I've gotten quite a few "I'll call you back" promises, and NO CALL BACK.
