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 got an email from the boat last night... did anyone else? It wasn't much (about 7 lines), but he sounded in good spirits. Also, ready to come back to port!

Nope... it's just one I copied off the Navy website.

Hope Friday is going well... for everyone!

Khichi, be sure to hook up with Yvonne, mom of Nick (see below). She's going to San Diego too. I stick out my tongue to you both ;-P, only out of sheer jealousy! k.

Just got an email from Blue Ombudsmen, Jena' and Trish. Here's what they say:

If you're not getting email from the Ombusmen or the FRG, you SHOULD be! It's the best way to know what's happening. Get on that site and let them know "you're the mama!" Hugs, k.

I'd like to brag on our little group. We're the largest group of sub moms on the site! There are nine of us now... and I think it's a hoot we're all on the Blue crew, so far! That makes it so easy to know what we're all experiencing.
We've heard that some LEAVE is forthcoming after this cruise! Daughter is already making plans for the visit.
Welcome aboard, Khichi. Roll Tide, ya'll !

Yvonne, my husband calls that "magic" we have to keep up with the kids through other moms the "Mama Mafia!" I told Drew that with the Ombudsman and FRG, the Mama Mafia had gone global... because now I could make him behave even on secret missions! Wish I was going to SD too :-(
Becky, you're so sneaky... the poor kid didn't know he was being timed!
Hugs! k.

Hey, ladies... well, they're in port again! I'm not about to guess for how long. This is tougher than playing a Vegas "shell game!" So, start dialing the phones... Hugs, k.

Well, Drew felt well enough to go out with friends Friday night; but he had duty today, so haven't talked to him (hate duty days). He'll probably feel too bad to go to church tomorrow, wanna bet?! ;-) k.
