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."

there is also a n4m facebook site already that I am a member of but it is alot of other mothers/wives/sons and daughters. Crystaldj1972@yahoo.com is my email address so add me when you do. I dont know how I am going to make it thru these next 8 years without the other navy moms I have met on here. What a long road! I will try to find a book or something for all of us to sign and can make copies of and send to everyone thru their mail. We will see what we all can find.

Great idea crystal - I was going to bring cards to give to each of you that had my contact info on it (you know like a business card but plan to do it on my computer.)
Also - I do plan to build us a Facebook site so that we can also stay in touch with each other that way

has anyone thought about an attendance book for all of us to sign and leave email addresses/physical addresses, phone numbers etc for us to sign at the meet and greet so we can all stay in touch???

amazingly I havent seen any bruising, and the only soreness I have is the incision site and for some reason under my armpit where the end of an underwire would go. It is hard to lift anything heavy and I dont even try. When I had them done originally 5 years ago, I was so terribly sore, I couldnt even drive. It hurt to turn the steering wheel! I am lifting nothing over a gallon of milk. I couldnt handle it if anything else were to go wrong. Just wondering when I will get the go ahead to go back to the gym. I truly hate missing my workouts. We are supposed to have a bodybuilding competition in June and I have to be ready. This is really setting me back. I guess the best thing about it all is that the pocket they have to make for the implant was already there from the one that burst so that real soreness I was lucky to miss out on.

ok well I guess I am heading for bed soon, got a busy day tomorrow, get to get all my bandages taken off and see the twins for the first time. YAY cause its damn hard to breathe with all this stuff wrapped around me. Tuesday I get to drive to my sons girlfriends and pick her up and stay the night there. Wednesday we will be driving to pick up my mother and then on to my sisters house by Dallas. We leave the airport in Dallas thursday morning. Tomorrow is the last day I have to pack and hope I dont forget anything. Wow this has gone by so fast, but it is all becoming so real now. I cant get any more excited!

Am I seeing correctly? Does the countdown clock actually say 4 days? Did anyone think we would make it this long, it would have been iffy without the support of everyone here! Can't wait to meet everyone!
