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."

My husband just picked up five pins. I'm leaving work now and off to GL! I will post tomorrow as soon as I hear from Wade. I wish everyone very safe travels.

Loree, I thought you were coming to the meet and greet. My husband is going to try to get pins today.
-

I had to do the same thing with some of Wade's clothes. His twin is taller but t-shirts sure get mixed between the two of them. I was driving Willie crazy asking him, "Is this yours or Wade's?" That's why when they were little I would dress them alike but always put Wade in blue (for his eyes) and Willie in red. LOL Not so easy now.
-
-
Wade said they pay for their pictures today.
-
-
That's for sure. I shipped a box of Wade's clothes and shoes off to our hotel today. I'm going to let him go through them and I'll bring back what he doen't want to keep there.

I think this is the first time in my entire life that I have said the weekend was too long. LOL I even drove to Knoxville, TN and back too on Saturday and Sunday.
-
-
I saw that - I was sure 313 would get privileges this weekend.
-

Good morning, everyone. Thanks so much for your prayers and support. Wade called Saturday and said he felt much better and sounded very confident to get to battle stations. He is with Division 317 right now and will go back to 313 tomorrow, God willing. I could still hear the bronchitis but he swore he was much better. I'm surprised 313 didn't get to call againt his past weekend, especially since they were on Holiday routine all three days. Who knows the logic. LOL It was so good to hear he was doing better and we now wait patiently for the call tomorrow. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and well wishes. I have your cell numbers to text you all tomorrow while we are travelling. CarolynS, please give me your cell number.
The ribbons and pins are perfect! My husband is going to try to get by the recruiter today to see if he has any. I am going to be buried here at work since I'll be gone the next three days. Halleluia! That sounds so wonderful. It is finally here.

I would love to share the password with you but we aren't suppose to for security reasons. I'm sorry. Maybe you could contact Great Lakes and ask them what to do.
