OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

The son is home!!!!!
I was woken up from a dead sleep about midnight to a knock on the bedroom door with"Mommy I'm home" Of course I couldn't figure out why one of my girls would even bother to let me know they were home when I again I hear,"Mommy I'm home---it's your Son"! According to what he had told me he wasn't due in til next Monday.His Dad and oldest sister knew differently!!!!!
Hope everyone has a good day!

Wow Carolyn, I didn't think it ever snowed in Washington. Seems like over the years alot of places that never got snow now seem to. Hmm wonder why? We got about another 4 or so inches today. I've already had my yearly quota it can stop now.

Carolyn,
As of right now my house has about 13 inches. It's been snowing all day today (it wasn't suppose to) and another storm in due tomorrow AM. Do you miss it? I wouldn't. I couldn't stand to live in the "rain" all the time either. So guess I better move a little south.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW , LET IT SNOW. NOT This is not delightful. Got all my errands done by 12. Was going out to breakfast but got ditched. jk my friend. So, dragged Kyle out of bed to get his hair cut. Since school was closed I figured the hair place would have cancelations. Now I need to motivate myself to wrap. Any takers on doing it for me. Don't like wrapping. Tomorrow is cookie marathon baking day finally. Bought Ryan's plane ticket for the 29th now just keeping my fingers crossed that he can get up and be at the airport for 4:30 am.
Marlene what beautiful words. Thank you.
Shelia I love the angel picture they look so pretty.
Janice I can see your smile from here. I was looking to see if I could find a Marine doll for you to put under the tree for Leslie but no luck.

Funny thing--I took a pic of the tree on the corner of Sullivan Ave the other night too!
Sorry I'm really bad with names but thanks to whoever told me how to get my song player onto my page.And I love my little Angel from Enfield Mom(sorry,other board name) I hung her in my car so she never has to get put away.
Donna---you could borrow my molds if you like.

Carol, Not sure what goodies your talking about. In BC space is limited and certain things they can't have. They can not have a lap top until they arrive at A school and she will be told when you can send it. As far as a GPS I don't think she will really need one. They start most times as soon as they get there.
This first week is P week. This is when all of the processing is done. dentist,dr eye tested. uniform issue (called smuf if i remember) limited sleep etc. The "hard" stuff starts week 2. About week 4 you will get an graduation packet will all of the info in it, you have plenty of time.
