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."

Hello Sisters-
Welcome Julie. You are among a great group of ladies. Did someone say lunch at the lake. You know I like to eat and after a few drinks we may ALL look a sight. So bring the cameras so we can embarrass our Sailors!!
Ladies I am on the government warpath today. My sailor told me that his pay is being cut. What the heck!!! I read that some military will not get paid at all. So much crap is going on. How can the gov send our men and women out to fight wars and not pay them. They need to be concentrating on the job at hand than worrying about crazy issues back at home. Do the gov not know that these precious men and women are losing their lives!! Death benefits will also stop if the gov shutdown. Do I need to go to Washington DC?? Sisters, you know I will go. I am hoping things will be resolved by midnight tonite.
Now that I got that off my chest, I want to say welcome to Julie again. If you think I am one crazy lady then you are right. I am proud to say I learned how to wear my CRAZY BADGE from my SC Sisters. Welcome to SC!!!

Liddia, its about a 45 minute drive from Ohare to the base.. Not sure if they do a shuttle but we got a rental car for like $26 a day. Was worth every penny.

Lets get past Easter and the wedding and its "Game On!" Ann may want to wait until schools out. You ladies pick a weekend and tell me where to be. I'll be more than happy to pick some of you up along the way!

Ha! I'm guessing after a few of the offical "Deployment Drinks", looks will not be an issue. I'm thinking we will be the most beautiful women on the lake. Prozac mocha vodka latte? I'll bring the vodka!

Welcome Julie to South Carolina

Well I am so happy for you Susan and Sandy. Enjoy your sailors.
Hippmom-I know how you feel but things will get better. Now you can go to her house, make a mess and leave it for her to clean up. Pay back's a *****! No seriously, it will be nice to go visit her. Having an empty nest might not be that bad. I am looking forward to my oldest moving to Norfolk when my sailor moves there. He is still in GL and don't know when or if he will be able to come home. I know I did my best in raising wonderful children and so did you. Now I can spend my time and money on travel, shopping and visiting me children. Oh yeah and spoiling my grand children.

My Sailor is home today. Came in early this morning. Dinner at Carrabba's and he's off to base again. Next weekend he gets to come back and stay the entire weekend. Life is good!
