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."

Holly - Congrats to Paula! I know she is excited to move closer to Jeff. I'm sure my son and DIL will love having Paula out there to do things together - they enjoyed visiting with her when she was there before Christmas.

I know what you are saying exactly Holly. My son is on the Alex and my stepson and his GF were stationed in Japan on the aircraft carrier George Washington. But both were quiet about coming and going dates. I feel like I have to talk in code to my son but yet can blab away to my stepson. lol Hang in there.

No this isn't my first grandchild - I have two others a granddaughter age 3 and another grandson age 18 months (they are our Dtrs. fiance children) but we claim them as our own - since they have been together for over a year.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. We did not get to see our Alexandria sailor but were able to spend the holiday with our two that are stationed at Lemoore Naval Air Station here in California. This would be my step-son and his GF. It was all good. SKYPED with my son and DIL in CT with my Mom and Brother here. They both had never SKYPED and loved it.
Tammy...can't wait to hear about the new grandbaby. Keep us in the loop!
