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 here!! Arrived in Groton last night and we got keys to our house today! I'm just so happy to finally have our family together again. Now we start the headache of trying to figure out how to get our move paid for so we can have our household goods shipped, lol! So far Personal Property is being somewhat less than helpful...:P

lol that's exactly what my husband did.....he just said yes to everything that I wanted. We also had a friend take the pictures and the only thing we had to do was provide the memory card and he got to keep that as payment.

and ofcourse I'm doing all of it on my own since I'm jersey and he is in Groton.. But what I do is get pictures of what I like and just text him then we get an idea of what we both like so far he's liked what i've shown him so.. then again he is a guy and when it comes to a wedding all they do is yes us to death..lol

Thats what I was thinking .. Cause I've seen invitations but I want something fun and simple.. As for music, Thank God I have a very good friend that DJs so I know he would work with me on the price.. I also have an aunt that makes cakes but unfortunatly she's in PR so in order to get her to do my cake I would have to fly her out here, wich is might still be cheaper than getting a cake around here.. Thats what I hate about Jersey everything is sooo dang expensive

Oh and we also saved time and money by printing our own invitations on the computer....we bought an invitation kit at a craft store and then just typed them up at home and printed them.

We had a BBQ reception too, we saved a lot of money by having my grandpa make the bbq. We only had a month and a half to plan our wedding. We had it at the City Park, bought silk flowers and made our own bouques, had my aunt make our cake, used an ipod for music instead of hiring a DJ. If you have any questions you can message me!
