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."

Have a great time Carrie! I always know when it's time for a break, people at work start getting on my nerves. Ha, ha...
Donna - my son loves it too, he just gets the homesick bug every now and then. He's only been there for eight months and this is the farthest he's ever been from home, so it's to be expected. Sounds like your son has been in a while, so he's probably better at dealing with the trials and tribulations of military life. Mom's on the other hand, not so much! I was having a moment the other day of missing Jamie and had to blink back the tears.
Debbie - have a great time in MI. I've been to Grand Rapids before. So very pretty up in that area. But too darn cold in the winter months! We have a boat and have a dream of one day living on the lake. My boys always loved to go tubing and wakeboarding. It's things like that you miss more than anything when they're grown! :(

Enjoy your trip Carrie!

Carrie we have a place in Constantine MI and we are right on the St. Joseph River, we love it. We use to kayak in the parks and forest preserves around here, anywhere there is water. LOL

I guess I repeated myself after seeing wonderful places. I wanted to tell you about skype too that is how I have made it for almost 3 years since my son has been gone, it is the best to see him and talk with him.

Stevesmom, it will be ok, my son loves it there, he has seen so many wonderful places and we have gone to visit him, how great that was for us, we went to Paris, Naples and Rome and we had a whole 10 days with him. They only thing I don't like is on Capo Base no were for the sailors to eat. No Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner I don't like that at all. LOL I guess that is a mom thing they are so far away from home they should have something. But my son has seen so many wonderful places, what does your son do?

Pam have a nice time. We are leaving for MI on Friday after work and coming back on Monday with it being a holiday we get an extra day, have to get in as much kayaking as we can before it gets too cold.

LOL - Debbie. That is funny about kicking you off! Silly website.
Carrie - So glad to hear Amber is settling in ok. We have mosquitos and no-see-ums here in GA that will pretty much carry you away! I never go outside unless I take a bath in Off!! My husband never gets a bite. I always tell him it's because he's bitter like vinegar! Ha, ha... So Amber must be sweet as honey to be bitten so much!
I have seen the news reports about Vermont and oh my gosh, it's awful the flooding up there. We can get rain and wind from these hurricanes and we're four hours inland. Too much water at one time. Safe travels to you Carrie! We're headed to Savannah next Monday for a couple days.

LOL Carrie. I am glad Amber is doing ok, bug bites hope they don't itch. Have a fun and safe trip. How long will you be gone for? You last have a wonderful Tuesday.
