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."

Lauren - LOL.....sorry, but I can picture your reaction to the 15 year olds packing skills. I just caught my 16 year old driving my car without his license, (he took it to the store to get milk) When I asked him where it was, he said, Mom, its in my car in my wallet so I won't lose it. OMG!!! I get up this morning, and it was obvious he had the late night teenager hunger pains. cupboard doors left open, empy cereal box on the counter, newspaper strewn everywhere (very important to read the comics ya know), milk left out (good thing for him it was almost empty) and his nasty socks on the freaking counter! Uh................. I love him dearly, but I guess I really need to step it up, otherwise I will never get this kid married. I joke and say that I'm going to give any potential wife an as is warranty, no refunds or exhanges, I will provide full disclosure, take it from there. :-) I still have many many years, but in some ways he's like a mini caveman!

I vote for Joann to get the extra ticket. She has wanted beach since they were in bootcamp!! Remember when we would find sounds on the internet and play them? http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=sound+of+waves&mid=640E9855...
For you Joann!

Lauren,
our 17 year old has only had his liscense for a year ( August) and we have already had to replace it twice!
I would like dibs on the extra ticket!

Lauren - if I haven't said it already, and I probably already did 20 pages back, I am jealous! Have an amazing trip to Hawaii, post lots of pictures for those of us who will be living vicariously thru you, as we sit here and sweat. :-)
Congrats to Sweet Steph! What a year YOU have had!
The Stennis site Im also on, all they talk about is where are there packages that they sent. Thankfully I have you ladies.
JoAnn - it got below 100 this week. Think it's teasing us? Might be time to get out our winter clothes. LOL!
