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."

well its 2 am and i cant sleep. I know I will sleep after I see my son, but I am so anxious to hear about everyones sailor calls- how exciting for everyone! I cant wait til we get our sailor call on thursday- we will be on our way to the airport about time for him to call. I better not miss it. Sprint has terrible coverage and my phone doesnt always receive its calls when on roam... grrrr.

Amber, if you could only see the two of them together, you would know they are perfect for each other. They have the perfect kind of friendship and the perfect kind of love. But they are also realistic in their expectations. Both of them too mature for their ages. 16 and 19 and both know what they want out of life and have the steadfast ability to get it. They also know the challenges they are facing, but have faced being apart for the last few years and still devoted to each other. I envy the love they have for each other and hope that all of my children get to experience what they have. They truly complete each other.

parking passes, that was it for me. I think I got everything else I need. My wife was really stressing in her letters, no phone. So I will leave that at home.

ok all im heading for bed see yall in the morning b4 i hit the road again. saying prayers for those doing battlestations, those travelling and those forgetful ones who need to remember everything. God Bless and sleep with the angels!
Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 24, 2010 at 2:02am
if there is anything or anyone in this whole wide world that could make my son happy, its that little girl sleeping in there. they totally adore each other and have for most of their lives. they have grown up together from ages 6 and 9 and they definitely complete each other. I was definitely blessed when god gave me my future daughter in law. we joke because my son hasnt asked her to marry him, they are too young for that still but they are betrothed. they have no choice in the matter anymore lol
Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 24, 2010 at 1:57am
thats exactly what i was thinking. maybe its a kid thing. she is usually bubbly and hyper, but she has been pretty listless and is asleep right now. I doped her up with some stiff antibiotics and ear drops that the dr gave her and hopefully her ears will be ok to fly by thursday.... if she wasnt with my son in gl then he musta mailed it to her. she got three letters from him yesterday. I havent heard from him in two weeks and here i was fretting! I am so anxious to see them together. his letters were so sad, just saying plz plz plz make it to see me!
