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."

Hi - Nicole, I'm from Nederland (near Beaumont) so we are almost neighbors! I have already been to Great Lakes - so if you have any questions feel free to ask. I will tell you that Southwest Airlines was great to work with - it flies into Midway - a much smaller airport that O'Hare for only about $200 round trip. They also extended my trip without any extra costs!!!

Buna is right by Kirbyville, which is right by Jasper. I worked in Jasper for a couple years. It was only a 45 mile drive from Hwy 69 at Zavalla.

Did you have any family in Breckenridge when the tornadoes hit this week? I was in a tornado with my son when he was 6 months old when we were at Possum Kingdom, over 18 years ago.

Hi - I love the Austin area. My best friend just moved to Round Rock, Cedar Park area. I have been up there a couple of times to visit her. Maybe next time I go, we could meet for lunch. Sounds like you are a seasoned Navy Mom. I can't wait to find out where my son will be stationed after "A" school. He will finish that about April 15. Did you go to any graduations after boot camp?

Sorry, I did not check the entire group feed for a few days. My son is in "A" School in Virginia Beach. His job is Master at Arms. I live in southeast Texas, near Beaumont. Nederland to be exact. I really wish that the Texas Moms could get together maybe this summer and just go out and eat and visit one night! What do ya'll think?
