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."

Very pretty pics, I wish my sailor was on this vacation with us. She is trying to pass quals today and she is too short to complete the requirement. Keep your fingers crossed and add her to your prayers. Thanks

i was saving these lanyard photos & came across a photo shoot i did with my daughter last year - and i looked at them & started to cry...only because i am so amazed & proud of her - i never would have guessed my baby girl would be traveling the world and defending our country! the photo shoot was her jr prom dress - and playing in the pond, called it "TRASH the DRESS" we laughed & she had so much fun ruining that expensive dress - but as we all know they never wear them again anyways so glad i didnt tell her NO!

OK it was because i was on my ipad that i didnt have all the buttons/options - :)
i am waiting on a price from the printer we use for our business...i know the more we do the cheaper they will be.... but i am hoping for them to be around $2-3 only - and i will do the name tags as a gift for everyone with your user name & icon if you want to help find those you really appreciate at the meet & greet :)
