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'm in on the ribbons also. What are you thinking on how to do them or even how big cuz I'm not real creative on things like that. Give me a pattern I can follow and I can do it unless someone could make mine and I'd give them money for it and pick it up at the Meet and Greet.

Ribbons... Yellow or how about red, white, and blue in honor of 9/11 too

Thanks so much, Leah. Have a wonderful, restful weekend and pack for GL!

Thanks so much, Tammy. With all the prayers and support of these mothers, all his fellow 313 guys pulling for him and the Good Lord by his side, he can't help but feel that strength through BS.

Amen! Tamme, Wade will be so excited to do battlestations because you know that's all these guys have talked about since they got done. He will be so pumped there will be no stopping him!
I wish Addie could go to but I left it to God to figure out the solution and and I am ok with it. There is a reason she's not suppose to go. I will miss her and hopefully her daddy will come home soon and get to spend quality as well as quantity time with her.

Amen. Thank you SO much Loree and Carolyn.

I am so sorry to hear that, Carolyn. I pray that changes.

I am so sorry to hear little Addie won't be coming. I pray that since Ethan and you have made the final decision, her mother will change her mind. But at least he'll have you there as his number one love in his life. I am so glad you got the picture posted, Leah. I am going to print it out and send it to Wade. I have sent him the others all along so he could see all of the guys whose mothers have been so supportive through all of this. It's probably helped them too to have that bond (and laugh at us at the same time). We are going to maybe go to a Cubs game on Saturday. That was Wade's initial plan but we didn't buy tickets just in case things changed and am glad we didn't since we need to see how he is feeling when we get there. Thanks again to all of you for so much support. Four days till BS and I can breathe the big relief with the rest of you.
