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."

We head out about 8:30 and mapquest says 7 hrs. With 3 females I figure at least 8 hrs. I better go and pack up the car and grab some breakfast before hitting the road. I am going to try and figure out D's iphone he is getting this weekend so I can keep in touch. (Ihave to make sure it workd you know wouldn't want to give a defective phone!)
Thanks to everyone for always being here. Usually I don't have to even type anything because my questions or concerns are already answered.
God Bless you all.

Val I am so sorry you have to be going through all this right now (or ever) If you saw 2 strangers fighting and the man hit the woman woulf you call the police? I know I would. You did the right thing and your mother probably agrees with you but it is her son....

Laura I am so happy for you and C. Skyler is beautiful. I am so glad to hear he is doing so good. I really hope we get to meet you at Meet and Greet. It will feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing if you are not there. I know you have to do what is best and I agree but that doesn't mean I won't pout alittle if your not there!!
Have a great day everyone!! Off to start packing...yes I am a last minute kinda girl. But my house is really clean!!! Hate to leave a dirty house to come home to.
