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."

Thanks Jill, what is new with you? I really have to try to get some pictures of the Ball on here, still waiting for Stephen to post some of his pictures but there are some on his fb page I will see what I can do getting them on here.
-

Hey Jill, did you hear I am going to Italy in May to see my son, how excited do you think I am. LOL How are you doing?
Hr Carrie!
Where is everyone else, hope everyone is fine!
-

Carrie, Stephen said that is fine, and I will PM you to give you a little information, ok! I bet she cannot wait to come home, it is kinda scarey to be going so far away and not really knowing anyone, but she is going to do just great.
-
-
problem not Probably. LOL sorry Carrie!
-
-
Carrie, we got our right away also, just in case we had to go right away we were ready. Yes I will talk with Stephen about his e-mail I know it will not be a probably, I just want to make sure he still checks it I know he does facebook and skype with us, so no problem, I will get back to you, that would be nice for the two of them to talk, maybe Stephen knows someone on the other base, he has a lot of friends that are girls. I can't wait for Amber to come home, I can see you smiling already. LOL
-
-
oh, he doesn't have a car but uses his friends car all the time, I wonder if he will get it for that, but he does not care about that any way. Thanks Robin! I will tell him! They should give him more money for food. LOL
-
-
Thanks Robin, that is what he thought, he is also a sponsor now, I thought someone told me they get paid for that, he was not sure he just wanted to do it. So far he had two sailors coming and then their weren't. LOL Well he is volunteering so that is good. I did get to see some pictures of the Ball but now I have to get them off of Face Book and on here, I am working on it ladies.
He also was trying to teach CPR, because he was a firemen before he went into the service, but I think too many men signed up and he was not called this is when he first got down there.
-
-
Carrie, I am glad too that this site is here and all of you ladies are here. I will get more information from Stephen when I talk with him about what to bring and so on. I will post pictures are soon as I get them, that could be a few days you know. LOL I love IKEA, I go at least once or twice a year just to walk around in it, and I always buy something even if it is littel. Have a great day?

Jill, Stephen was selling tickets to the Ball, he was there, as soon as he sends me pictures I will post them, I bet they looked so handsome. Jill I am sorry you are missing your son, I know how you feel, I cried yesterday I was working in his room and found some baby pictures of my children that is all it took and the tears were running down my face.
Robin, Stephen is on the Capo Base, there is a subway and a little cafe and he is tired of eating at both, he says he hates subway.LOL He used to love it at home. I will let you know more about the Navy Lodge when I found out from Stephen.
