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."

We printed our boarding passes today, too. Now it's just a matter of time...
Dusty's Mom--Our recruit's grad gift is a watch and here's the URL to the one we purchased. http://www.usnavysealstore.com/products.asp?product=6944. After a fair amount of research we found this one that is Navy approved AND this was the best price. There are other face colors if you don't care for white.

i havent heard from mike about it either. dont worry it will all work out.
boymom3-you know i will be there with bells on. its getting so close. im so excited. the kids wont stop talking about it although their teachers dont approve. oh well they will get over it. so our plans changed instead of leaving out at 2400 hours we are leaving out at 2000 hours ok i think that means 8;00 if im right. ive been practicing. but noone ever checks it. hehehe. so how is everyone doing? havent heard to much about anyone lately i guess its the same for our recruits. no news is good news.
hugs to all
jackie

It was a busy weekend on our end...mostly shopping for a graduation gift and new luggage. I'm actually looking forward to work tomorrow so I can rest!
Boymom3--We haven't heard from our recruit, but he should have received our letter by now. Hopefully he will connect with your son and work out sharing his spare tickets.
