Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

denise- I feel for you and for him.
Good to know that someone has told him that the "elephant is in the room" though. Now he can watch his back. Can he go off base to get the dental done?
This is helpful even if someone is laying for him. God will heal the injury. He just has to know it is done and healed.

Well this has been a week for the record books lol.....snow storm here in Texas caused ice on the roads and my trip to Gulfport has been delayed for 4 days now. They don't have the necessary equipment to remove ice from the roads since this is a very rare occurance. I could have taken the drive alone, but promised a friend he could ride with me and the hubby didn't want me driving alone. The friend was scheduled to graduate Tuesday, but due to the storm it was put on hold until today.The weather in Louisiana is now the reason we were told to wait because they have rain and ice today. Tomorrow should be sunny and warm in all locations, so all systems go. Hurry up and wait at it's finest!! Hubby will follow less than two weeks later....that's the only plus to the storm, i've had good quality time with him while the base was shut down for 3 days :D This storm has affected so much of the US, so for those of you dealing with this mess and worse, stay safe, dry and warm ;-)

Seabeewife- she is still in the holding unit. She will start on or about the 13th of this month. Pretty stoked about it she is. Some of what they do makes me a bit queezy.
Sorry all my cable was zapped by the storm, 3 days down, you would have thought life ended around here. The 12 and 5 year old are going through Disney and MTV withdraw. They will be happy it is back on.... TV Junkies at the finest.

Tobianne,
My daughter told them she wanted to be doing something other than sitting behind a desk. Not that there is anything wrong with that, that is my job but she wants to be out helping. She loves it. She loves being outside also. She is going to go to school though to be a vet if all goes as she thinks. She may change her mind. Yes I can tell from her calls she has changed. Sounds so much more grown up and with a purpose in life now instead of changing her mind with the wind.

Awesome, 2 more females...
Sandy- it is always hard for us moms, just know she is doing what she wants and a great thing at that. BC is hard on both ends, when she comes in that hall and you see her.... wow amazement. When you speak to her, you will see what a change has taken place.
Navymom99- same thing. However, I am sure in calls you have already noticed this.
My daughter is in GP right now for ECS school (combat training) she is a CE. Let me tell you, she loves what she is doing and she loves being a part of the Navy. I am proud of her.
Now for the Seabee's, this is family. They will grow so close to their brothers and sisters. Some cases females are very few in A-school. so this even adds strength to that family bond.My daughter miss her friends and family at Sheppard AFB (A-school) but was so happy to get to her family that was waiting on her at GP.
They are doing a great thing.
Welcome to both of you. I found that 8-9 months ago, these ladies in her are also like my family. We all are here for the same common goal. I love my sisters and have learned so much from them already and know I will learn so much more.
