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."

Wow! Didn't know there was a group for scrapbookers. Awesome!

Was just doing some 'window shopping' at Joanns.com. They have an electronic recording button for scrapbooks.. It records for 10 seconds. It is on sale. I might get a couple of them and take them with me. Maybe get a group command or the beginning of Anchors Aweigh?

Joann....the only thing I have from his DEP days is a stack of papers he sent in his KID IN A BOX. The papers are records his recruiter kept for the months of DEP..April- Sept. Medical, physical, school records, etc. Was really interesting to look through. He was in TX just finishing his first year of college when he called and said he'd enlisted...whoa, we were stunned. But it's all good and we are very excited for him and know it is the right move for him...he hated college...
Haven't started my scrapbook yet...did you get the book with the NAVY emblem on the front...I probably will at the next sale...lol...those buggas cost money. Will be keeping all kinds of things at PIR on 10/29!!! Can't wait...

My son is a DEP and won't be leaving until March 21. He is busy with his recruiting mtgs and such and I am a wreck. I am an avid scrapbooker and he loves my albums. What will I do without him here to keep me going on them? What kinds of things from your DEP days did you put in your albums? Missing him already...Joann

My son called me at 5:30AM to let me know he left RTC at 1AM got to Pensacola at around noon yesterday. He said it was a sight to see 30-35 sailors, all in dress whites, walking through the airports. I asked if people stopped and stared and he said they did. That must have been a pretty impressive sight! He'll be in Florida for a year with schooling. We can go see him there. We're so excited, especially his sisters!
