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."

SDPam- Glad you found out what she was doing! It would suck to get to PIR and take pictures of the wrong kid!!! Can you imagine? ha ha that would be your B/C story! lol!!!
Bls- GREAT for you! Wish I had that kind of energy and drive! I started weight watchers last week and now that all this snow and ice is out of our area I'm getting back to the gym! I was doing so well before and during the holidays but this weather :/ And my SR sent me a letter saying he's lost atleast 15 lbs at his last weigh in so the pressure is on! I have to get to my goal weight by the time A-School is over! LOL...were very competative!
11 days ladies!!! Is it me or are you guys nervous? We had this discussion last night at my in-laws. Not sure how to adapt to the changes of the military life in my husband! Not even sure if he will be the same person when he done! I think it's like going on a blind date with someone your friends are setting you up with! You hear all this stuff about them but the nerves get to you before you meet them! Anyone else fell like this?
Well no wonder we didn't recognize our daughter. A family member received a letter this week that stated she'll be playing a drum, not the cymbals.
Good grief! Time to work off this nervous energy at Zumba class in the morning.
bls23 - you sound great! Keep taking good care of yourself :-)
OH MY GOODNESS ladies our SR's look FANTASTIC in those pictures and wait .........is THAT our daughter playing the cymbals?!!!
She told us she would be - but it just doesn't look like her. She looks so grown up in her uniform.
WOW! Brimming with pride for division 910!!
Deb that's GREAT that you saw Logan on the FB page!!! I bet you WERE/ARE just beaming with pride (as you should be)!!! I couldn't pick out my hubby either, but I think I saw his flag (which was covering his face). They all looked great and SO sharp!!! I just LOVED seeing them!
Only 13 more days, ladies!!! We can DO IT!!!!
