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."

Ethan is suppose to start his A school on Thursday. Hopefully that will happen since they had told him he would be on hold for 2 months. The sooner he starts the sooner he can come home for a visit.
Chris, where is Michael going to A school?

Tammy P, I'm sorry to hear that he's sick again.
Ethan seems to be doing ok. He has been busy so that is good since his school is on hold for 2 months. His dad and I are going to try to go see him once he can have some time away from base.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Keep us informed on your sailors and what is going on with them.

What a wonderful graduation. We are so very proud. I need to change our picture. It was so nice to meet everyone at the Meet and Greet and at graduation. I wish we could have met more of you. It was very hard on him and us to leave yesterday but he sounded much better last night getting to know his roommates and the new base. Talk soon.

We will leave Oklahoma City at 3 pm. I can't wait to see Ethan. My heart swells with pride everytime I think about what he is doing with his life. I will try to be at the Meet and Greet at 7 but don't count on it, but I will be there. I have 1 extra pin. See you all soon. I pray for safe travels for everyone going this weekend!

We just landed in Chicago. Wade called while we were on our flight. He said he had passed battle stations and is now back with 313 and that he would try to call a little later on today.

Sandy, if you Google 'Great Lakes Naval Training' it will give you the link to the site and then go to the 'Families' tab at the top, then to 'upcoming graduations' and there will be a link for the parking pass. Maybe we will run into each other at the hotel. If you can try to make it to the meet and greet.
