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."

If anyone hears from anyone in Div 250, please ask how they're all doing? I'm getting the sense that they're still in the thick of things -- I know they're in the last group for BS -- so they'll be probably practicing for PIR after being up for 30 some odd hours -- maybe they saved the toughest for last!

The DD in NY do carry bagels -- and they're not bad -- coming from someone raised in NYC, they're more than just edible! NY, we're light breakfast eaters -- cereal, bagel with a smear is a travel treat for me -- and you know his sisters will be wanting the donuts! As long as there is coffee -- DD here makes good coffee -- can't imagine it would be much different in Chicago.

What's even more twisted is I have mapquested the directions from our hotel to the Dunkin donuts -- who needs their coffee in the morning! Maybe not you younguns!

Okay let's get down to some serious discussion -- breakfast while we're waiting to get in to the gates! There's a Dunkin Donuts close by and they open at 5:00! I know it's twisted that I'm thinking about this, but our hotel starts breakfast at 6:00 and NY Navy Girlfriend will probably be beating me up if I make her wait to leave the hotel that late!

Congrats to all...what's going on 250! I'm so anxious to hear from my son. Last letter I got said that there were many of them sick -- maybe they put them in the last spot for BS because of all the illnesses. I'm trying not to think about it.

Lov Life: Yes it was only a little paper trifold -- but what it had in it was the guests your sailor put as invited guests. And the little green parking slip.
NY Navy Girlfriend: We are renting a car so we'll have all the info from the car rental place and our licenses for ID.

The packet was a little less than I had expected. It was a brochure size trifold with the green parking slip inside.

Okay, you guys really need to get some sleep! I"m looking at the posting times! Ah Youth! And you need to get your minds off 7/17 or else the time will drag! NY I'm sure you won't want me listening to your conversation with Chris! If I get a call and he can't make another, I'll be sure to connect him to you and step away and not listen:) Promise! We're heading up to Boscobel to see Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and spending the day outdoors up in Cold Spring -- but I have my cell phone which I do believe has conference ability. I'll practice before. If he calls, don't feel you have to connect me, don't risk losing the call -- just give him my love and ask him a million questions about how he's been, what has he been doing, did he make Sharp Shooter (he thought he scored high enough), well, I'm sure you have all the same questions that I do. Also I'm curious how they make honor grad? Just a note Mrs. KJM, if you need to be safe, I'd suggest you DON"T post where you are even on this site, you never know who is watching! Let us know you're safe but don't let us know where you are. Just my 2 cents. I'm going out to the bookstore today to get a Fodors or Frommers guide to Chicago -- whenever we travel I get good info, especially on restaurants, from those guides. I'll post on the 'What to do in Chicago' group. Hope you're all enjoying today. The weather outside (right outside of NYC) is spectacular -- thank goodness! We have had so much rain, people have been extremely cranky and, in my old bone case, creaky! Enjoy today everyone -- hope we all get calls!

Great picture NY! Hope you hear from our boy!

Oh come on NY -- now you know who this is!!!:) What do you mean no hugging in NY -- maybe because I'm Italian -- I hug everyone! There's no way your bf is not going to get a big fat hug -- heck, his father will kiss him!
