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."

Any suggestions on what song lyrics I should run out to mail to the guys?

Carolyn, I received your message but not sure if it was on this blog or the 9/11 one. We are flying out Wednesday because we were able to get $42.50 roundtrip tickets. We are staying at the Homewood Suites and would love to have a greet and meet there. We'll have to figure out if everyone is getting there Thursday or earlier.

The lyric requests are "Here Comes Goodbye" by Rascal Flatts, "Small Town USA" and a bunch of country song lyrics. Sounds like they are all converting. LOL I sure hope he comes out hating his rap music. I will truly thank the Navy for that if it happens.

Spirt Airlines rates went down to $8 each way so I just had to book. I pray I didn't jinx him and graduation stays 9/11. I figured it was better than waiting though and paying the much higher rate. At $42.50 round trip, it won't hurt so bad if I have to cancel. I am so excited now.

We received a letter today. My daughter read it to me and said they can right for 20 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday nights now. This letter was written the day after they called. He requested song lyrics to all the songs they have been trying to sing with each other. LOL I'll tell you the names when I bring the letter with me tomorrow.

It has to be a hilarious site though to see all those guys singing all different kinds of songs.
