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."

T-wifey- the only guy who gets one is our token dad- Jon! He's had to suffer through all of us women so I choose a red flower for us. [ he's in div 199 same as me]

t-wifey- i friended you. I am doing the corsages and i will do 2 for you.
The M&G is at 6-8 at the Ramada Inn. Even if you could just stop in for the last bit of it- and I think the only reason we will leave is we will either be thrown out or be drop dead tired- it's going to be a short night!
So even if you can't make it- look out for a mom with extras at the grad- we will be seated according to our div. I will make sure there will be enough.

....I'll be back though! :)

Just try and throw us out! That sound's great. I will do whatever you guys need help with. Lobby sounds fine. Mom's do what they can, where they can. I know what you mean by keeping yourself off of the computer. I go all day and then when I take a peek, its so hard to leave. Its been our connection for the last several weeks but with that said....I hear the Flyer's calling me. Talk to you later!

Barry'sgf - no you're not...you are going to be fine. Just remember how many people travel everyday. Focus on your weekend and how long you've waited for it. Hopefully, you will be seated next to someone that you can talk the flight away with or if not, then, turn on the music or movie and relax. It is going to be so worth it. You can do this and so can I....no worries.

Jill- I asked bryters [terrie] if we can meet at the Ramada around 5:00 as she has the ribbon. I PLAN on doing the corsages this weekend [ I just have to stay off here long enough to get focused and DO them!!]. So yeah- please join us if you can. I have no idea where in the Ramada but hey we can just take over the lobby I'm thinking! What are they gonna do throw us moms out!

Jill-I am getting more nervous about flying!!

You've got good cause - you're doing alot of work here. Remember, I am good to meet earlier on the afternoon of the 26th at the Ramada, if you need help putting these flowers and ribbons together. I am hoping that all of 197 show too for the M&G, and if not, we all can catch up the day after. I can't believe that the final week is upon us. Yeah!
