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."

Off to PIR tomorrow. 29th is the big day. So proud. Then off to A School in San Antonio. I will spend a couple of days with him in Chicago then he has leave till January 8th and is going to NC with his dad and fiancé. This has been tough but not near as tough as when he wanted to live with his dad at age 12! We are still close though and it broke my heart but I never wanted him to feel like he had to choose. So very proud! Camcorder - check, camera- check, gate pass -check and the list continues!

Our sailor is deployin Dec 5th and we thought we were not going to get to see him before he leaves, Wed nite we were sitting in the living room and we hear his voice, I thought it was a dream, he suprised us. We have enjoyed our visit with family and friends, but today all good things must come to an end. Please keep us in your prayers, as we do all of our sailors and their families

Happy Thanksgiving. Navy Mom hugs to all!

graceism, Yeah for your PIR! Next Dinner is Feb 13 at Colletta's in Bartlett.
Judyann, we'll be praying for your sons strength thorough this difficult time. Some women just dont have what it takes to be a Navy wife. If you think he'd enjoy some extra Christmas cards send me his address as a private email and we can load up his mailbox.
Happy Thanks Giving everyone!
