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."

Robin 14 days how great is that. 7 months that is long enought that is for sure. How are you doing Robin?
Stephen still has not passed the stones. He had to go back to the doctor for more pain medicine, I feel bad for him. Thanks for asking that was nice of you.
Do any thing special today for Labor Day?
Hi Carrie! How many more days????
-

Oh, Stephen also got a Bravo Zulu letter from a captain for good work this is his 3rd one, I am braging just a little. LOL
-

Well Stephen is still in a lot of pain he has not passed his stones yet. He also was turned down for all of his bases he picked. The Navy told him he could not go East or West so that took out WA, CA, HA. A new list comes out tomorrow so he will check it. He cannot stay in Europe either. Carrie I do not want him to go to Japan so I am glad that was turned down. No I never wanted to go there and I would not. I am very excited that your son is coming home, how great is that. 35 more days that is it, I hope Stephen is feeling better by then so you can meet him.
Hi Robin!

Happy Tuesday! I just found out from my son one of his choices was Japan, I am going to chop off his legs if he gets Japan, is he nuts.
Carrie how many days now?????
Hi Robin!

LOL thanks Carrie, I told him you would be looking for him. He said we are on different bases, I just laughed, I say she is a mother she will find you. LOL
I love FL, never been to CA.

Stephen was in P-Cola and loved it.
Talked to Stephen today and he is on medical leave he has kidney stones. They gave him something to desolve them and lots of pain medicine. He is very sore and has been sleeping a lot. I will call him again tomorrow to see how he is doing. Carrie maybe Amber needs to go see him and take care of him. LOL You know men babies. LOL Well I have heard that kidney stones are very painful. Carrie you are going to have the best time, I wish I was going with you, I could use a hug from my son again.

Robin, I bet you love Florida. My parents live in Florida and they love it. They live in North Port, I think that is around 6-8 hours away from them.

Oh Robin, it is hard to move away from a place you love but I do understand about aging parents. Well all I can say is that I am glad you are here with us. I bet your daughter loves Wal-mart. LOL
Carrie, it will all work out and you will have a wonderful time. Just remember you are going to see your daughter and it has been a long time. Everything will fall into place you will see. Stephen says it is still real hot there. They have these machines at the train stations to get tickets but they never seem to work for us. We always stood in line but the lines moved fast. I do like to buy ahead if I can, that is just me. that is why we got all of our tours too before we left one less thing t worry about.

Carrie, we had no problems getting a seat but where you buy the ticket seem to take forever, we always had to stand in line but it all worked out. Yes if you buy tickets in advance you can pick your time. I like to plan ahead too, then I know I have everything, but it all works out. 42 more days, I cannot believe it. You are going to have the best time. I am just so excited for you Carrie. I know you just cannot wait to see your sailor. It will give you peace it did me.
Time flies does it Robin! I know the way your talked you loved living there. Why did you move?
-

Carrie the train worked really well for us. Boy it has seem like years since we have been there. Robin it must be forever for you. Carrie lots and lots of pictures ok! If you happen to get a few of a tall, red head kid, I would love to see it. LOL
