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."

Got an e-mail this morning that at Colors this morning he was welcomed back and the CO presented him with another coin and asked him to say a few words about his deployment! He said he was totally nervous! Also found out that he is sitting for the advancement test tomorrow with absolutely no time to study except for tonight! He was under the impression that they had pushed his testing back to April! Oh well, he does well under pressure!

Sharon, I am glad he is back and doing good! That is a long flight! You will hear from him soon, could not live without skype.

Hey Moms! Devin arrived back in Naples this afternoon! He is a little jet lagged but heading out to dinner with his friends and will be getting to work tomorrow. While he was gone he got a roommate but he's fine with it as it was a friend he already knew! Probably won't skype tonight but will tomorrow after he's had some time to rest up. Wish I had been able to see him when he was stateside for 48 hours but at least we got to talk! Been missing his voice!

Carrie, I am glad she is seeing a lot of places, that is the way to do it.

Carrie, doesn't your daughter ever work!!!! LOL Stephen does not have a lot of time off, well he was going to Rome again this weekend, but with class and guard duty and other things he is doing, not much time.
Jamie, I knew you would love skype!
-

Yes I talked to Stephen he worked and was getting ready for bed when I called but it was good to see him, he is planning on going to Rome again this weekend for a birthday bash.LOL Sharon I am glad he is on his way, he is going to love it. It took Stephen around a week to really get settled, he knew a few people down there from A school so that helped a lot, they helped him out a lot.
Jamie that is nice he had a good sponsor, Stephen did not, that is why he is so grateful to his friends.
Carrie isn't that something how close in age they are.

Hey y'all! Well, it's official - Comfort is on her way back to VA and my boy will be flying back to Naples on Monday! He is excited to be getting back and getting started!
Jamie - Nate will be fine, they are truly a great bunch over there! I'm betting his sponsor also took him out for a great "welcome to Italy" dinner and he will be surprised to see he might already know some folks there! I know my son was floored by how many he knew from his previous schools that were there!

Robin, I am go glad you got to hear from your daughter that made your day. I am glad she is getting use to the ship.
Carrie, that is something the kids are going to be the same age. Also my daughter is going to be 21 July 17th, small world. It is amazing when the baby is going to turn 20. LOL
Jamie, don't worry he will be fine and he is going to love it. Well if you have skype you are all set, that is all you need. Keep us updated with your son, ok!

Carrie that is ok, I am glad she is busy and having a great time. Yes he has received his box already, he called me the other day to thank me. I wish I could be with him, this is the second birthday I am missing. But when we get out there we are going to have his birthday and mother's day and my daughter 21st birthday, we need to catch up. He will love if Amber wishes him a happy birthday. Carrie how old is she going to be??? Going camping, how fun, it is too cold here and the ground is soooo wet, Stay dry and have fun!
He Robin 65, I will take that temp. LOL 72 that is even better, yes I would like to see some sun also, well I did see it on Saturday that was really nice. I hope you hear from your daughter soon, I cannot stand if I don't hear from my son every week, but I am sure she is doing great and is loving it.
Hi Sharon!!!

Sharon, he is going back to Naples, good! What a great experience for him. I know you must be so proud of him. Safe travels to him.
Carrie thanks, we had a nice weekend, it got up to 50 and sunny on Saturday, so that was nice.
