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."

I know how you feel. It's 12:05 and I'm supposed to get up at 1:45 and get ready. Then leave and get my dad by 3:30 to go to the airport. No sense in going to bed now. I have had a total of 6 hrs sleep in 3 days! Good thing I'm not flying the plane. See all of you soon.

NOW TO THE URGENT THINGS! My 16 yr. old daughter wants to know if there is a pool at the Residence Inn! I told here there is a giant swimming hole not far from base. A bit on the cold side, but HUGE!

Kathyann, you are so funny. I tried to do the same earlier, except I. got caught. We stopped for dinner and at the attached gift shop, I found candles. I picked up a smaller one and stuck it in my stack, my husband just picked it up and handed it back to me. I have some with me anyway. I don't think they found them. LOL

Pmbell: the bridge through St. Louis is fine. How do I know this??? Because we had to drive all the way up to circle all the way back to St. Louis. Lol. I55 N is the highway and bridge over the river. The girl's are ready to strangle Gretchen (my gps) because all we have heard.for what seems like forever is I55 N...

We are all packed up and sitting in a hotel near the Seattle-Tacoma airport, anxiously waiting for our 0700 flight to Chicago. SOOO looking forward to seeing my boy in the grandstands, (exhausted but with mission accomplished) at PIR.
I need to sneak a blue candle into the hotel Thursday night (ssshhh).
We will be at the meet and greet at the Ramada tomorrow night! Looking forward to seeing you all!
