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."

Debbie - I was just in North Port on Monday! Have clients down that way! It is a bit south of here :0) I also have some friends there that I met through our dachshund rescue (small world).
I might have to stop down at the sponge docks this weekend, you've made me hungry for souvlaki mentioning Tarpon! LOL!
Hope you have safe travels! Enjoy yourself! :0)

We are going to be in North Port. I had another mom trying to meet up also but she was over 500 miles away. I wanted to go to Tarpon Spring but not even time. We get there Sat., night and Wednesday is preparing food and Thursday is Turkey Day and we leave Sunday. Look I am home already and did not even leave yet. LOL
I wish everyone a wonderful Turkey Day! Wish we could be with our sailors, but hopefully we get to see them during the holidays. Stephen still waiting to hear about his leave.
Sharon, you are going to have a wonderful Chritmas with everyone there, it is so hard to get everyone together. Enjoy!
Carrie, I bet Amber is loving her new place and yes Amanda is a doll!
Robin, how are you? What is going on with you and your sailor?

Debbie - where in FL? I'm on the west coast, just above Clearwater/Tarpon area.
Carrie - Christmas, get to spend Christmas with Dev! :0) Thanksgiving is going to be a quiet one here, all the kids off to their in-laws or out of state this year. But that's ok cause they're all going to be home for Christmas!!! :0)

You can sign up on skype also to use your phone from Italy, it is cheap, you put money on skype and call through there and it is cheap and it counts down for you so it is nice, so we just started that. We have a hard time texting Stephen so I am not sure why but I am lucky because Stephen works on a computer so we can fb also, I talk to Stephen every week so that is nice. Pam he put in for leave for Christamas so far nothing, he was turned down last year, if they wait any longer he will not get a flight. Airfare is around $1,400 don't know how he is going to do that. Still waiting to hear about his next base. Oh that Navy!!!!!!!!!! Stephen has been all over also in Europe, that is so wonderful for them to travel.
