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."

AmyD--My husband MC Dyksterhouse is at the Schoolhouse right now talking to all the students. Fort Jackson is a beautiful base, and the leadership at the Schoolhouse is amazing!

Thanks :o) Along with a bunch of other "life stuff" - I've needed to just stay focused.
YES - Happy to help Zim's mom however I/we can! Whatever questions I can answer. or information I can share. It was hard when J first left and I didn't feel like I had anyone to ask SPECIFIC RP in Okinawa questions of. So I want to do all I can to be a helper. :) And I can ask J things too - so it will help anyone new who's coming in. He's had some really tough stuff happen while he's been there - so he can share his knowledge.
Note - BEWARE OF SNAKES. They BITE!
And be careful of where you keep your credit/ATM cards...even the military has "bad people' who will steal them.
** OPEN AN ACCT AT NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION there on base. You can transfer money from any other acct to it and it makes banking on the base SO MUCH EASIER. AND...if they get in a tough spot/emergency - other people can transfer money in there too.
There is a USO on base for phone calls and free WiFi if they need it in a crunch.
Those are just a couple helpful notes I wish we'd had when he first got there.Blessings,
mar

Hi all!
My son is home right now form Okinawa and it's GREAT to have him for a few more days. He heads back on Tuesday. And then has about 17 more months there. Having him so far away is hard...but I know that GOD has worked on growing him!! Jeffiner - did I tell you his promotion came through?? He's an E-4 now. YEAH!
Anna V - I look forward to him being back in the US for a while....but it's up to GOD where he ends up! I hope you're getting some time with him with him while he's here.
