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."

I have a friend that's a travel agent and she told me the going airfare is between $900 - $1300 dollars coming out of Italy. I even called Delta to see if they offer a discount for military and they do, just not coming out of Naples. Ha, ha... gee thanks Delta!
I foresee a huge party going on at the house!

Hi Pam,
So pleased you worked out a ticket ... Max GF is already talking about visiting him ! As he won't have leave for a while . Enjoy your family home together .:)

Good I hope he enjoys being home. It is not worth coming home unless they are home for two weeks, the airfare is so expensive. Tell him to enjoy! I am very happy for you Pam!!!

He's been working on it for a while, but he finally was able to book his ticket! He'll be home for two weeks.

Oh Pam that is so exciting. Enjoy your time with him. How long is he home for? Was it a surprise?
-
-
I'm so excited ladies! Jamie is coming home for a visit!

Pam that's too funny you should be in the PIR group for Nick. The Gfs think we should all get " I heart my sailor " bumper stickers !! And they are all lovey covey about a Taylor swift song that they would like played as the PIR group enters !!! Please shoot me too ...
Had a couple of text this morning , I think the GF is getting all my Skype time though !!! But max said he had had a great time in Venice but it was weird not being with jess . That made my heart glad that he is still a little guy ... Shhhh don't pass that on :) poor Jess just text from school how annoying the Gfs are on the FB group and didn't they know it was a military ceremony not powder puff and spirit week . Love my grounded girl .)

Rahcel's Mom - one word - AWESOME! What a great surprise. I seen your pictures and have to admit I was a little jealous! LOL... And yes, I am counting down to April and cannot wait to see my son. Although, he seems to be keeping busy and enjoying all this traveling. But coming home ALWAYS does the heart good, doesn't it? Hope you and your husband are feeling much better.
Debbie - today is my first day back to work after a long four day weekend and I am dragging! Although staying home with a five year old for four days kind of grates on the nerves. I will be the first one to admit the older I get, the less patience I have. It was so much easier in my twenty's when I had my boys! We love our little princess to death, but her latest obsession is a Taylor Swift DVD she got for Christmas (thanks a lot Santa!) and if I hear one more Taylor Swift song, I'm going to scream.. Ha, ha..
Sheryl - Any news from the birthday boy? And hopefully his twin is ok on this birthday without him?

Hi how is everyone doing? How is everyone sailors? I have been off of work from Friday until today which is Monday, have to go back to work tomorrow, YUK! Have a great week.

Rachel thank you for sharing that it made my day .... My son is one of the newbies she has yet to meet . Not sure if he's still alive to make his birthday tomorrow ..... Let's hope so ...Venice is such. Fun place to go !
