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."

ok, so I think I got ya all beat as far as staying in touch. I am currently at 37,000 feet in an airplane flying from Vegas (had to make a quick biz trip) to home Seattle (where, by the way, we've had a mediocre summer. We wait for 9 months for summer and it has been cool, to put it mildly). This plane is equipped with WiFi! This is all I have to say since I still don't have another letter or call to share. ok, I know, you'll all be calling me "the whiner" at the M&G. thanks to all for your news; I have to live vicariously through you.

Jopers-there is a div group picture, as well as an individual photo taken. However, I guess they will have to photo shop Eryn into the group photo...she was on watch when the group photo was taken.

Got home from work and after many pages of reading up (I'm addicted too) I want to say to:
Joey's Mom - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Msbabyphat - Congrats on grandbaby; hope I have someday.
CaliMom - Yes, I'm jealous too of weather. Heat wave in West Central IL has a lot of nerves frayed. It's feast or famine with rain.
ALL Moms on 285 - thank you so very much with sharing. Been worried that my son's Div 285 were working as team very well and then problems creating them to not come together. Your letters (especially Nikos Mom) made me feel better that they are getting it back together).
CathyJ - Yeah!!! No annoying GF. Nerves subsiding somewhat.
To ALL Moms/Wives/Girlfriends - Hooyah!!! 15 Days to PIR. Thank you all for being here. Your comments, jokes, and support here with each other is just AWESOME and makes my day a little easier.
PROUD TO BE A NAVY MOM AND PROUD TO BE WITHIN THIS GROUP
